Notes for Walker & Martha Jane (Family)
This family is not related to me, and this is not intended to be a complete family group. I originally entered their son Clayton, erroneously linked as a son of Lansford Flannery and Pearl Elliott, because a Ray Flannery had corresponded with me in 1997, mentioning his grandparents but not his parents, and the only Ray Flannery I could find from the Rowan/Elliott County area of the right generation was Clayton’s son Ray. But it turns out that the Ray Flannery who is my fourth cousin was born in Ohio, not Kentucky.
