Path: Drewry Vickers → Henry Vickers → Edna Vickers Ryall → John H. Ryall
Grade: Secondary Supported
Evidence: 1880 and later records place the descendant as Edna's child; Edna's death certificate names Henry Vickers as her father.
Open issue: Original parent-naming probate/deed still needed for Henry > Drewry.

Evidence grades

  • Census- or vital-record supported: recent parent-child steps are named or placed in compatible households by census, marriage, death, or comparable records.
  • Secondary-supported: a compiled genealogy supplies one or more early generations while local records independently establish the people involved.
  • Strong probable: the relationship is well supported, but one part of the settler claim still lacks direct settlement-era proof.

Each generation is judged separately. Marriage, surname, proximity, or a shared household does not by itself establish descent.
