E-Mail from Stephen Jenkins: January 2009:
“From internet sources (appears to be true), John Alexander Street was son of John Waller Street Jr. and Mary White Alexander. His siblings were: Orbrey, Elliot Emett, Viola Bessie, Vibrait Lee, Charlotte Frances (Lottie), Emma Murry, Mary Robertson, and Mildred Jeanette Street. John Alexander Street married Olive Gray, daughter of Colonel Alonzo Gray who also is interred at Arlington National Cemetery and who wrote a book “Cavalry Tactics as Illustrated by the War of Rebellion.” I am not aware of John Alexander Street having any children. My link to John is that we share a common ancestor (John’s grandfather.)”
