Genalogical update.

Ms. Wisdom and I went to Terrell, Texas yesterday.  We went to the Francis Street House, across the alley from the Catholic Church, where my daddy was born.  We went by the Griffith Street homes of Mama Vinnie and Daddy Ben, Ben and Vincent CARTRIGHT, Pearls dearest friend forever, and Bufords Drug store and the Iris Theater that showed spooky movies no mater what else in the universe was playing, they had spooky movies and coloreds upstairs, but the place was empty, and the manager said we could sit upstairs.  Still the place was empty and the train rattled the back wall and the screen when ole number nine comes blasting through town on what used to be the Texas and Pacific, then Missouri Pacific now Union Pacific Line.

I used to get off the train at Terrell

Anyhoo, James Buchanan ZINK was a builder and supplier of wood products to Terrell Texas.  He joined in business with LAROE and it was LAROE and ZINK Building Supplies or Lumber Yard in Terrell.  Family tradition says he was involved in building the mansions down Griffith Avenue.  Bob RASH, my dads best friend sold his mothers house in the 80's for sixty grand.  Her name was Vincent CARTRIGHT RASH.

Now, I think that the closeness of the RASH, Ben S ROBERTS (Daddy Ben) and Vincent CARTRIGHT ROBERTS,  were so close from the experience of Pearl Olivia ZINK CARTRIGHT BOYD, having been the sister in law of Vincent CARTRIGHT ROBERTS (Mama Vinnie) and never lost the closeness of sisterhood throughout life.  Anecdotally, both Vincent and Pearl chose the same floral pattern of bone china, Buttercup, or is that the silver?  Anyway, they both chose the same pattern and they also chose that pattern for Roy Gene GRIMSLEY **?** BOYD (Jeanne HUDDLESTON **** BOYD).

There is a picture of Jeanne in between two sailors.  World war twoish.  The sailor on the right, I think is Uncle Joe.  Buddy JONES aka Joseph Brantley HUDDLESTON, the sailor on the left, was Jeanne's first husband, ~~ she said was abusive ~~  some things you dont go too in depth with your mother, if you know what I mean...  I have never tracked down her marriage records or stuff like that while she was living.  Guess I can now.
