Robin Heppler Thu, 27 Feb 1997 12:15:20 -0700
I am looking for the following information on my paternal grandmother's family. Her name was Mary E. BLYTHE Heppler. She was born in Kentucky 2/1888, married John Conrad Heppler around 1909 and died 6/18/84 at the age of 96. I have been told the following information from my family: Her father was James F. BLYTHE who owned a lumber mill on the land where Blythesville, AR is today in Mississippi County. His wife's maiden name was BARKER (I think). They had 7 children (1 son - Charlie [who married Pauline-had two sons Jim and Jeff] and 6 daughters Mary E., Effie, Rosemary, Rebecca[had a daughter named Sarah Francis who married a man of the Mills family]but these are all the names that I have been told). I thought that President Clinton (since he is a BLYTHE) might be a relative. Can you help with the BLYTHE or BARKER families?
