From the data shown on that page, I notice Earl Sr was a middle child in a family of 10 children. Relating to the Waltons story, it would be akin to Zeb & Esther having 10 children. I wonder if Earl Jr ever wrote about the lives of his 9 paternal aunts & uncles.

Earl named several people on The Waltons from his relatives. Yes, I clicked on the "Find A Grave" link and saw that Earl Sr.'s mother had the maiden name of Spencer. |
