I can't help you from the names given, but there are a number of remarkably
similar names in my family (Elizabeth, Sarah, Anna and John and, I think,
James). I am looking for the ascendants or collateral descendants of a
Charles Raphael Chesnutt born in Arkansas about 1880. He had a sister named
Anna who was later Anna Brimbar. He married Helen John Christy from St.
Louis MO. Any thoughts?
Charles Chesnutt

copy of that. Her maiden name was Boykin (sp). There were no

Good luck in your hunt.
