Albert Bynaker,Betty Hood's father, was raised in the Shenandoah Valley. I can't remember the exact address. He married Chloe Helsey, also from the Shenandoah Valley. They later moved to Md. At the time of Albert's death in a car accident, the family had a big farm in West Friendship, Md.Chloe later remarried and lived in Baltimore at Edgecomb Circle S. I think their only other daughter, Bobbie, lived in Baltimore, too. She had two children, Weezie and Robbie. I don't know if Bobbie is still living or not.

I feel sure that some of the Bynaker family members as well as the Helseys still live in Va. I'd like to know about them, too, although I was only related to them by marriage of Betty into my family.
