Looking for parents of the following siblings:

MARTHA - married a Chilton - lived in Kentucky
CORA - married a Ganoms
JANE - lived in Louisville, KY - never married??
CARRIE - married JAP BENNETT. Had a daughter named Margaret
who married a man named LEIN, and lived in Hunneville,
Marion Co., Missouri
MAT - (maybe Mattie) died ca. 1932.
JOHN - b. ca. 1851
BILL - b. ca. 1871
DAVE - b. ca. 1873
RUSOE - b. ca. 1875
J.H. - (known as Jim) b. ca. 1869
THOMAS MARION - b. 4/18/1858, d. 1/4/1935 Miss. Co., MO. Married
Mary Lucretia ARTMAN 2/6/1879 in KY.

We came up with this info from a letter written to my grandmother in 1935 by J.H. Black in response to a letter written to him informing him of the death of his brother, Thomas Marion. Have always
assumed that Thomas Marion, at least, was born in Butler Co., AL, but have not been able to find him there. Do any of these name sound familiar to any one? Would love to break through my brick wall
and find the parents of the above.

Thanks in advance,

Jackie
