My grandfather, Fogle Francy EARP, once told me his great-grandfather
and Nicholas Porter Earp's father were brothers, or something
like that. I didn't pay much attention at the time, and my
grandfather died around 1978.
My grandfather was from Newsom(e) NC, and moved to Fairmont, WV
after his marriage. We have considerably more info on this
branch, so if anybody is researching the EARP tree, I'd like to
put you in touch with my mother.
She's also working on the BAKER, WORKMAN, STOUT, and BURNETT
families.
