Notes:

Patricia Hale Liford is the daughter of Charlie Levi Hale and Mary
Tuttle. The great granddaughter of William Evan Tuttle and Doxie Chadwell,
(sister of Lucy Chadwell Sasser), and James M. Hale and Nancy J. Williams.
She is descended from John Henry Sasser through his daughter Nancy Sasser
Williams.
Patty was involved in at boating accident on Laurel Lake. She fell
overboard and her body was never recovered. She has been missing since 1976,
declared dead in 1982. She left two children; Regina Beth Liford and Dennis
Liford. The circumstances of her death are considered somewhat of a mystery
to her family. The full details of the accident have never been disclosed by
the other people on the boat, in fact the investigation of the whole matter
were hushed up. If anyone has any information on her death, it would be a
comfort to her children and siblings.
Her daughter, "Gina" was visiting me just two weeks ago, here in
northern Indiana. She is currently a student at the University of Kentucky.
She will be a dentist. She graduated from Union College last year in
Barbourville, after being elected Homecoming Queen. She is both beautiful
and intelligent, having won numerous beauty and talent contests, and
graduated both high school and college with honors.
She and her brother were raised by her Aunt Joyce "Joy" Hale Hill, her
father, Dennis Liford, Sr., but primarily by her second cousin Hayden Watkins
(great grandson of Nancy Sasser Williams) and his wife Regina, whom Regina
(Gina) was named. Hayden and Regina live at the "Old Sasser Place," the old
homestead of James M. Sasser and Minnie M. Humfleet in Tuttle, LCK.
Dennis Liford is married, has no children and lives with is wife in
Corbin. Her sister Joy Hale Hill and brother Coleman Hale live in the Tuttle
community, LCK.
Thanks for asking,

Let me offer some accurate dates and information:
# Pat was not missing in 1976
(that would make it hard for her to have Gina in 1979),
she has been missing since June 27, 1982,
and has never been declared legally deceased.
# The children were primarily raised by me, their father,
with much appreciated help from the family; Gina desired to
move into the home with Hayden and Regina when she was 14.
Todd always lived with me until he graduated high school.
