Great Grandmother was Annie Sykes who gave birth to a son through James Moule, an actor. Moule disappeared. Son, Geroge Moule changed his name to George Sykes. Anyway, we are distant cousins. Have made contact with the descendants of one of the General's son,<br />who live in Oklahoma and I had the good fortune of meeting two of them in NY: pertly Native American and really fine people. Are you from this side of the family? If this message should reach you, would love to hear the history of other decedents of the General.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939374223253348645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296287100970811608.post-22029729838868068052018-01-21T07:27:56.749-05:002018-01-21T07:27:56.749-05:00His memory lived on in Vietnam 1/20 Sykes Regulars...His memory lived on in Vietnam 1/20 Sykes Regulars.
