Charlie and my Ggrandfather (James Henry Garvin) were full brothers, sons of
William Porter Garvin and his second wife Rhoda (Chapman) Garvin. It's a
long story, but Rhoda divorced W.P. Garvin and he married her sister as his
third wife. Rhoda disappeared from the family after the divorce. We heard
she married a Mr. Harrison
and had other children, but I have found no proof of this. Also have been
unable to
find her place of burial, to my regret. I have the Chapman family history if
you would like to have it. I have some pictures of W.P. and his children if
you would like to have copies. They are only zeroxed copies, but they are
pretty clear.
