Here's a photo of Clarence and Lavina Kane with their children. I'm not sure the year this picture is taken. Clarence is the son of George Winthrop Kane and Jessie G. Hubler. Clarence is the father of Ruth Kane, my wife's paternal grandmother. Lavina is Lavina McPhail, daughter of Taylor McPhail and Fannie Ellenora Cardey. Fannie Cardey was the daughter of John B. Cardey and Mary Ann Griffith. John B. Cardey went on to marry Sarah Jane Snow, Clarence Kane's paternal grandmother. Confused yet? Clarence and Lavina's grandfathers were both Civil War Veterans and best friends. When Clarence's grandfather and Lavina's grandmother died, Lavina's grandfather married Clarence's grandmother. The better twist is that my wife is descended from this family and I am descended from the Kane family. My third great grandfather is Clarence's grandfather. My third great grandmother married my wife's third great grandfather. It can be crazy confusing! The names of the individuals is on the picture below.

Hey there, Eric! These are my great-great grandparents! My great grandmother is Opal Kane. I want more information on this family, and it sounds like you've done extensive research. Can we correspond via email? My email address is Jordie.Adele@Gmail.com I can't seem to find any other way to contact you. Thanks for your time!
Sincerely, Jordan
