Research notes for Medora “Dora” Oglesby
In 1930 she is living with Rex H. Osteen and his wife, Susan Virginia Duncan, and is listed as “relative”. Virginia is a descendant of Thomas Blakey [169] and Ann Hayden [170]. Thomas and Ann are the gg-grandparents of Medora and ggg-grandparents of Virginia. Not sure if that is the relationship Medora means or if there is a closer one.
