William David Rector (1859 - 1938) My Great-Grandfather

Laura Isabella Bench Rector (1866 - 1903) My Great-Grandmother)
Bertie Lee Rector (1884 - 1962) Son of William and Laura Rector

Back Row - Left to Right:
I am not sure who he is. 1st possibility: Ludwell Glair Rector (cousin of William David Rector and first husband of Alta Nora Bench) 2nd possibility: Otis Robbins (second husband of Alta Nora Bench) 3rd possibility: (one of Laura Isabella Bench and Alta Nora Bench's brothers) I believe it is Ludwell Glair Rector. I have not proof only a guess.

Alta Nora Bench (Rector and Robbins) (1881 - 1919) She was a younger sister of Laura Isabella Bench.

The three brothers are also a guess. I am guessing by their date of birth and who seems to be oldest. William David Rector Family on Ancestry from Phillip Rector.
