Dave,
I stand in"awe" at your work. There is one child you forgot. The youngest, Jimmy Mcadams. And only four of us are still living. Thank you for offering me material from your tree. I will need it later. The mystery person in my dad's tree happens to be the grandfather of one John Robert Taylor born in 1920 in one of your trees. You see "my" Mcadams's and Bodine's are related in two ways. My parent's marriage , and also by the marriage of this John Robert Taylor to Rena Mae Bodine. ( Albert Gilbert's daughter). He is also my grandmother's brother. It is his father's father that I don't know anything about. Except for the fact that he was married to my great grandmother Jane. I don't know if he died or they were devorced. By the time the great grandfather (Robert John Taylor) was 12 years old, he and his mother(Jane) had a knew name (Pointer) tacked on. I did some research, and she married a John Thomas Pointer. Besides, i remember my dad talking about grandma Pointer. The think is my dad had told me that Robert John Taylor's dad's name was David Bickford. I'm sure that's wrong, because a man would choose his father's name at adulthood would he not?
Sorry this is so long. Feel free to offer advice if you have any ideas.
Thanks again!
Lisa
