You wrote that you are the only child and if I must be honest I hope what in going to say doesn’t shock you. Dad Robert his children our siblings are Anthony, Kenneth, Solomon me, you and Crystal. Shame I never heard of you I wanted another sister, take care.

I have written a response to your post as a separate message…
I was his last wife. In defense of my (our) daughter Teresa Lynn Shuford, she never knew about his other wives or children except for James, who caused much grief when he came to North Carolina. She did know about one of Bob’s siblings, his sister who was living in Fairview North Carolina at the time. That was a long time ago. Bob was not kind to either our daughter or me. We have scars to prove it. Mental and physical. I knew about all of you (his siblings and his families). I met his parents after Teresa was born and we had returned to North Carolina. I met his siblings. Cathy was kind. Sad about her daughter …
I am sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I was married to him many years ago. I see he had a son Solomon, possibly named after my son, who he helped raise.Bob is at peace now.
