Correspondence: G.E. Valley, Jr. -> George Caley, 31 May 1985

Linked to Martha Elizabeth Ringgold, Edward Ringgold, Rebecca B Ringgold, John Holliday Cummins and George Edward Valley Jr
Dear Mr. Caley,
In answer to your letter of May 25, I fear that “Edward” is all the name that I have for the father of Martha E. Ringgold, the first wife of John Holliday Cummins; the bible entry shows that he married secondly, Rebecca Ringgold, but it does not definitely state that she was actually the sister of Martha.
The death of Martha occurred sometime in the 1840s, as did the marriage to Rebecca; I cannot tell you the precise dates, because they have been smudged in the bible.
That is all the information that I have, I regret to say.
Thank you for your letter and your interest.
Sincerely,
