Almirinda McLaughlin Shores

I am researching Shores, Turner, King, Keaton. I am a descedent of the Shores, Turner, Keaton, King families. Also Watkins, Shepherd, Stephens. The Stephens family member that I am researching for is Earnest Stephens born in the early 1900's. Mr. Stephens was related to Vina Stephens(Shadowens)>Gideon Stephens>Elisha Stephens. Could anyone tell me Earnests parents name and where they lived and were born. I have hit a brick wall on this one. On the Johnson line I am trying to find my GrGrandmother Louisa Johnson (Turner) line. I have finally torn one brick out of the wall and find her Grandparents : Garland W JOHNSON & Thirza Ann DEHAVEN PAYNE (Garland being born in Rockingham, Virginia)but at another Brick Wall.
