Gordon Grovenor Belknap (1917 - 1999) CM3 US NAVY WORLD WAR II

Question

He married my great uncle Bill’s Widow and was a veteran of WWII. It appears from obit and available sources he had no children? I would like to update his profile to reflect his military service. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Note: it appears Olive never had children by either men. I do know from family great uncle Bill had no children

Heh.. nope, not I!  

I'm having enough trouble knowing what to do with 1700s Willis family members, and DAR / SAR applications/ numbers/whatever.  This is WAY out of my "comfort zone".

ANDREW !!! ANDREW !!! Your Belknaps are American royal colonials - very important people in their ancestors

I already had to ensure I was not getting confused between Abigail Belknap born in Boston, on the 5th May 1727, daughter of Jeremiah Belknap and his wife Sarah (LNAB unknown); and my Willis spouse, Abigail Belknap, who was a daughter of Nathanael Belknap and his wife Rebecca Baylie.

(Sorry, Andrew, but same-names, especially when not common ones such as Smith, or Jones, always suck me down a rabbit hole wanting to find a connection between them.)

I found records to prove it. Whenever you want to connect back, post in g2g and I'll be here to torment you some more, my brother. Most of the men in the line were SOLDIERS I like doing SOLDIERS
