Thanks for the replies. I think I'm gonna agree that Glee was Murry's sister. Gaines's research is pretty thorough, too. And Jeff, I haven't read White's book in a while, but I do recall he very thoroughly went through the Wilsons genealogy.
The reason I asked was that I was interested to know if Mike was related by blood to Murry -- and it appears he was. Gaines describes Glee as being very interested in music, like Murry. From Gaines's description, Murry and Glee's parents (Brian, Dennis, Carl, and Mike's grandparents) loved music and had family sing-alongs around the piano. However, the household was apparently abusive.
I know Audree also had an aptitude for music and a beautiful singing voice (which her sons obviously inherited). It is just interesting to consider that Mike had some of the same genes as Murry.
Melinda -- I noticed this was your first post. You wouldn't by any chance be a particular "Melinda" who would have very inside information as to the Wilson family, would you? Had to ask.
