This is one of my great great grandmas child. I'm doing my family history in church and I was searching up more about her. I found this, and it all matches up!!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, I am glad that you were able to gain something useful from my blog. My dad, DuWayne Squire, was raised for 6 years in the home of William & Sarah Amelia Sanders. He remembers your great grandma (his aunt), Delma, with great fondness. Jerald married Lorna Hinton. Good luck with your family history search!
DeleteAlso my great grandma, Delma Dutton is still alive in Hurricane Utah where my mother is originally from.
ReplyDeleteDo you happen to know Jerald P Squire's wife's full name i need it for my family history.
