At the time of Amanda's marriage to David SAMPLES he was 54 years old, and I believe that this was at least his second marriage. Who were David SAMPLES children by his earlier marriage? I have not been able to locate any information on Amanda's parents or siblings, John Sr. death, or David SAMPLES first marriage? Are there any HARGIS researchers or SAMPLES researchers who know about this family.
