Your wiki tree is a little off kilter. You have Nathlee Boxley born in 1905 as the daughter of Joesph born 1799 and Frank Whiten born 1880 as the son of Vess born 1800

Answer 1

Joseph Boxley was born 1877 in Canfield Mississipi. He was married to Mary Stump. Joseph's father was Monroe. His mother was  Sarah Robertson.
