Jennie's husband has been dead for 13 years, so Billy cannot be Edward's child. My interest here is Widower George ROSE, and I find no obvious genealogical connection between him and the NIGHs. Artye ROSE is George's unmarried daughter. And I wonder, is Billy George's child? Time for DNA testing descendants.
