I just spoke to my mom, and she said that yes, Darwin is our uncle (son of John Voiles).And the John Voiles you have b. 27 Jul 1894 d. Nov 1964 is my great grandfather.My mom says that she can remember that John's wife's name started with an E and it was a short name, but she can't remember exactly what it was.She also said that she can remember my papaw (Johnny) saying that we came from what was known as the "black" Dutch.There were "white" Dutch and "black" Dutch, and these terms simply referred to financial status, with the "white" being the wealthy and the "black" being the poor.
I am finding all of this very fascinating, and I would love any more info you may have.Thank you so much.
