==William Jefferson Blythe== William Jefferson "Willie" Blythe was born 21 Jan 1883 in Ripley, Tippah County, [[Mississippi]], the son of Henry Blythe and his wife Frances "Fanny". He married Lou Birchie Ayers about 1906. They later lived in or around the town of Sherman in Grayson County, Texas. An article in the ''Washington Post'' states that the Texas Blythe's say they moved to Sherman from Tippah County in 1909. If true, then he must have married Lou in Mississippi. William and Lou had nine children, in the following order: #Clifford P Blythe born 1907/8 Mississippi #Raymond W "Doc" Blythe born 1909 Mississippi, who died aged 19 of "yellow jaundice" in Texas #Laura Pauline Blythe born 1910/1 Texas married Loyd Linesteadt #Earnest Clyde Blythe born 1912/3 Texas, married Ola May Hazelwood #Maureen G Blythe born 1917 Texas married E A Mitchell #W.
