The reformatting of the name font
and census data for this page has been completed. --John M. Gwin, Aug 2011
Most of the following information was given to me in
1982
by my
father's
oldest brother, Uncle James Basset Gwin, Jr., who told me it was
compiled
by George House Luker (26.04 below) in 1932 in
Little
Rock,
AR. Uncle James said he found it in the belongings of his
aunt,
Mrs. Maggie
Vardaman Webb of Alexander City, AL, after she died in 1952, and
added
it to his own collection.

Note: Annie
Vardaman was
the
youngest sister of my great-grandfather, John F. Vardaman;
therefore,
Zarrella
Day Luker and her siblings (generation 26 below) are my first
cousins
twice
removed; all in generation 27 below are my second cousins once
removed;
and all in generation 28 below are my third cousins. I am not
related
by
blood to anyone listed here in generations 25 or 24--except
for
Annie L. Vardaman, of course.]
James Ira
was a brother to my husband's grandfather, Robert
Henry, son
of Joseph H. Nail b. 1844, Henry Co. GA, whose
father was Burrell Nail
b. 1802. Burrell and Joseph moved to Carroll Co.,
GA, about 1852 and
then
to Randolph and Clay Co. AL after the Civil War.
This is some of what I
have:
James. I. Nail. b. May 13, 1870 in
Wedowee, Randolph Co., AL; d. 1962.
James I is shown on the 1900 Al, Clay Co. census
with his family.

Luker's

include
the following. They seem strange to me,
since--if David's and Eliza's
firstborn, Edward Y. O'Connor, was in fact named
for Edwy Liles
Vardaman--Elmer LeRoy Luker (Edwy Liles
Vardaman's g-grandson) would
marry their yet unborn daughter Florence.
