I am decended from Owen Sizemore and Julia Knight. Their son Robert was my great grandfather. He married Lula Taylor. Their children were: Robert, Richard, Willard (his twin Wilma died in childhood), Ray, Linsey, Lucille3, Juanita and Katherine. Robert was born in Pineville W. Va. on July 19, 1890. Any connections out there?
