Text: Hello JAC,
I'm sorry I don't remember your name. My computer was hit b y a virus the same day I got your e-mail and the only thin g I managed to save were my notes thankfully. Yahoo ended u p closing that account because of the virus. You can e-mai l me now at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.
There are a few things I think that you asked for if I remember right. Fern died 21 Aug. 1984. She was never married . She did have two children from Clarence WIlliam Andrews Sr. Those children are Clarence William Andrews Jr. who is a live. That is my grandfather. And Merideth Lee Andrews a female who died as a child. As far as Fern's brothers and sisters go I don't remember all of them but I do have a small record of a few. Roy Coddington, who is still alive and living in or near Fredonia, KS. Harley Coddington, who was a gunsmith in Arkansas. He accidently shot him self in the groin and died in his 20's while he was cleaning a weapon . And Viva Coddington.
My Grandfather had four children. Clarence William Andrews III, Merideth Lee Andrews, Carl John Andrews, and Doug An drews. If you want to know more just let me know. I have Ro y's phone number and I plan on calling him sometime soon. He will be able to tell me a lot more that I don't know as far as the rest of his brothers and sisters are concerned. And as soon as I get that I will tell you if you haven't already found him. I see that you are really commited to your research. It is very impressive. I hope that when my children are older I will be able to commit more time like you have to looking for the rest of my family history.
Sincerely,
Jesse Bellard ⁴¹⁰³
