I do recall the name, Uncle Henry. I don't think we ever met. If we did, I was too young to remember. I knew Uncle Calvin and Uncle Alpheus, any of the others I may have met, but didn't get to know them. I really should get back into our roots thing. When we ever get past our recovery mode, now that I've retired, maybe I can do that.
You should come this way and we'll head for Chilton Co. for a few days.
You must have met uncle Arthur. He was Gene's father. Gene lived in the original Jones home 100 yards or so from uncle Calvin. I didn't realize his house had once been the house that I remembered when our great grandmother died. She was 94 and her name I believe was Lucinda. I was in the 4th grade when she passed away. Our family went down there. Gene had radically change the appearance over the years. He had a daughter named Patsy who also lived with them and eventually built her own house. Uncle Arthur was also the father of the young girl Ruth who died from polio. If I am not mistaken uncle Alpheus was the father of Dora Forbus. Boy I would love to spend some time there just roaming around. Don't know how I can make that happen.

I have a solution. Take a look at your GPS destinations from 24 Dec, 2017 and Thanksgiving Nov, 2018. Just adjust your setting to a destination 100 miles or so to the west and stop in Sylacauga. Let me know the date a few days in advance and I'll meet you in Sylacauga and we'll "make that happen". We will never get to do that any younger than we are today!
