      > Did the letter name any other children of Ellen Rigney by Benjamin Turner
      Clement?

      These are simply cordial letters. F. B. CLEMENT wrote things like "thank
      you for the pictures," "How are the rest of the family? Give my love to
      them," and "I was so sorry to hear of Albert's death."

      The only items specific to the topic of the children of Ellen RIGNEY and
      Benjamin Turner CLEMENT in the letters written by F.B. CLEMENT that I have
      photocopies of are -

      "It would interest me if you care to relate the whole story of his life
      with your grandmother as well as with Sallie Gravelly." "It has always
      seemed to me that he did the Rigney children an injustice and a wrong in
      abandoning them without support." 19 Nov 1948

      "It was news to me that he ever returned there after he first left Va for
      Texas and also that he had the large number of children by your
      grandmother" 15 Jan 1949

      "The Kodak picture enclosed of Rob, Albert and Ben reveal some similarity
      of features to my father." 9 March 1950

      The only other family members mentioned in the letters to Estelle POWELL
      from F. B. CLEMENT are Aunt Tavia, Uncle Fletcher, and an Aunt Betsy
      Goggin

      The photocopies of these letters were sent to me by James A. Davidson, a
      grandson of Albert Sidney RIGNEY.

      Respectfully submitted,

      Marna
      F. B. CLEMENT
      Attorney and Counselor at Law
      Nashville, Arkansas

      These letters are addressed to:

      Mrs. S. C. Powell
      Chatham, VA

      The letters begin: Dear Estelle

      These letters contain details that indicate that indeed Benjamin Turner
      CLEMENT did father children by Ellen RIGNEY.

      This Benjamin Turner CLEMENT was the son of George Washington CLEMENT (1786
      VA - 1867 VA) and Sarah 'Sally' TURNER (1804 VA - 1889 VA).

      The F. B. CLEMENT is Fletcher Blaine CLEMENT (b. 1892 AR), son of Benjamin
      Turner CLEMENT and Alice B. Williams (d. 1910 AR).

      Estelle POWELL was born Estelle RIGNEY (b. 1906 VA), the daughter of Albert
      Sidney RIGNEY (1867 VA - 1949 VA) who was the son of Ellen RIGNEY.

      If you have additional information on the families of any of these people,
      please do share it with the members of this group.

      Thank you.

      Sincerely,

      Marna
