Dear Mr. Ellis:
I am sorry to be so long in answering your letter of March 7th. The only thing my records
show that you do not have is Joshua Reed Giddings this is the same person as you have
as (J. R. Giddings) I think he was buried in 1930.
Sincerely,
/s/ Lloyd Hewitt.

sister-in-law of Dorcus Myndwell Wilcox wife of John Giddings. This would indicate John Carter and Jeannette Lambie Carter as relatives of Isabelle Lambie Wilcox. Further info in Descendants of Chester Wilcox, by Isabel Wilcox Nelson, Spring of 1965.
