How do you know that Virtulon is Calvin T. Rich's father?

I descend from Calvin and Priscilla through their son, Otis Perry Rich and Mae Lydia Wooley; through their daughter, Julia Etta Rich and Floyd Dallas Struble, my great grandparents. I have additional data and corrections for them if you want to include it. Let me know. "21:34, 12 April 2007 (UTC)"
