All of the about children were born in Virginia.
The two sisters-Minnie L. Neisz and Ida May Neisz married the same man William H. Wyatt Jr. A family story my mother handed down claims that this Wyatt family had kinship to a Wyatt that was once Governor of Virginia. This would have been Sir Francis Wyatt of the early 1600's. Some marginial proof of this exists but not enough to claim kinship. Any info in this area would be appreciated.
