I know this is a long shot, but I have hit the desperation point, trying to researchmy husband/s family. His ggggrandmother's name , I beleive, was Mable Addie Gates who married a James McClain Scales. Since her middle name was Addie, I thought maybe it could be a family name. Mabel married a James Scales in Florida, and they had 3 sons (I think), names Robert, Floyd, and Albert. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I can only hope!
