Notes:

Hi Charles,

Don't know if you heard from Juanita or not, but if you have just ignore this. Juanita heard from a woman named Jo Jean 'Kincannon' Johnson of Lawton. Jo Jean is the daughter of Murl Kincannon of Duncan. Murl was supervisor of the truck shop at Halliburton, Glen said.

Now, Murl was the son of William Perry 'Bill' Kincannon and Florence Jones, and Florence was Star Jones' daughter and a half-sister to Ada Jones (Frank Gentry's wife). And William Perry 'Bill' Kincannon was a brother to Sarah Frances 'Fannie' Kincannon who married Edgar J. Gentry. That's two brother's married half-sisters. Right?

So tell me....if Fannie 'Kincannon' Gentry was a full-sister-in-law to Florence Jones and a half-sister-in-law to Florence's half-sister Ada Jones and then she married Edgar Gentry which made her Frank Gentry's full sister-in-law, doesn't that also make her a full sister-in-law to Ada 'Jones' Gentry? Half AND full sister-in-law? And what does that make their kids?

I love riddles and this one is about as bad as Glen's g-grandfather who was his half-brother's half-uncle. Believe it or not!

I've always wondered what relationship Murl Kincannon was to Fannie because he was a pallbearer in Edgar Gentry's funeral, and now I know. Or at least I think I know....nephew, right? ;-)
