Thomas Roscoe Conklin (Roscoe) Messamore was the son of Thomas Harvey Messamore and Thomas's third wife Cordelia A. Weaver.  I suspect that Roscoe and his descendants may have adopted the Massamore spelling rather than the Messamore spelling.

Thomas Harvey Messamore was the son of James Messamore and Sarah (Sary) Heath.  As such, he was the nephew of my third great grandmother Anna F. Messamore.

Eva Hicks was the daughter of Crebe Hicks and Caroline Collins.
