The information below was received today-from a Jim DODD who lives in Milam
county, Texas.
He is a cousin to Beulah KITE HUNTER KUNKLE and Dovie KITE HUGG MCKOWN, and
sends this information. It is just a start on 8 pages of longhand. This is
the first three pages.
I am sending it to all the researchers that I have in file with these names.
Please let me know your feelings about this information. Mrs. H.E. Dodd
said that the grandparents were triplets---and this brings substance to a
long held legend in our family. Submitted today-in hopes of opening more
doors. Judy HUGG GRIMES
