Hi my name is Mary Hays, and I am looking for my family. My grandmothers name was Rebecca Elizabeth Runyon-Gilman. She was a daughter of William e Runyon and Martha Sheppard born June 29, 1908. Can you help me fine out more on her brothers and sister?

What little I can tell you is she had sisters one was named Lucinda Runyon-Curry and she lived on Elk Creek near Delbarton WV. and would have been born about 1903.

Next is Polly Leade (?) she live around the pond creek area around Stone KY. She would have been born about 1906.

I know my Grandmother is from a large family, but this is all I can find.

This is a picture of William E Runyon taken in front of my grandmothers house on Elk Creek.

Sorry I don't have the date or his age.
