James Perry md. Elizabeth Andrews 7 Sept 1889[8] according to the
marriage book published by the Woodville Civic Club. I sent the list the
probate records I had copied on an earlier trip. J. E. Perry's widow was
Lizzy Perry.
I see that I made a typo on the date on that entry, putting 18o5 when it
should be 1905. Also, I probably typed in Anders when it should be
Andrews because I have found the Anders name written as Andrews so many
times I just did not realize I was copying the wrong name. If the uncle
was and Andrews, she probably was too.

I am including part of the J. E. Perry probate papers here. It does name
Leona Nettles as one of the children

I think Nolan was the one called 'Bull' Perry and he md. my grandfather's
sister.

Problem with names in that county is everyone had at least 2 and
sometimes 3, not counting nicknames and they used different ones on
different documents. It is enough to make you want to scream. It is the
constant digging that 'hopefully' gets it all straighten out in the end.
