Della was a Venable,i.e. subject matter. I thought you are/have traced the Venable line. Della is : " Nancy Ardella 'Dell' Venable, born to Stephen G. Venable(son of Jesse and Nancy b. June 30,1835) and Kesiah "Kizzie" Jones (b.1840 to Ambrose and NancyJones) [lots of Nancys then, huh?]. Stephen and Kizzie were married May 5, 1860 and Nancy Ardella was born 1861. The picture is of Thomas A. Dobbins and Nancy Ardella Venable (m.09/28/1883) - she's the connection I thought you might like to see.

By-the-way, do you know Janice Marshall (maiden name) If so, tell her Patty Dobbins says hi and would love to hear from her if she has time and feels likeupdates on the past 35+ years -also, Marsha Venable.
