Notes:
I met Ethel Goodwin Little-Atkinson (my third cousin) 3 May 2005. She said that when she was a child in the 1920s, she often played at the home of Annie Baugh, who at that time would have been in her 40s. Once Annie looked at her and said, "You could have been my child." When Ethel got home she asked her mother what it meant, and was told that Annie had once been in love with Ethel's father, and maybe still was. We speculated that maybe it's why Annie never married, but speculation is all it was.
