Alice Davis Wingrove died in East Liverpool, Ohio,
Columbiana County on November 17, 1912.
I don't have additional information about the children other than the
three youngest were residing with Alice in East Liverpool, OH when she
died (per the obit). Maybe this will clarify some things. It appears
that this John Wingrove had fathered two large families. I have to give
credit to my cousin Connie for the leg work a few years ago by digging up the records in WV and Ohio
Thanks D. Jan Allen.
