Joe was the son of William Joseph Munnerlyn &
Diana Minnix. He was born in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. He
drowned at Gulfport, Mississippi, leaving his son, Ryan Joseph Munnerlyn
(Williams). Joe was just 28 years old and his son had not been born yet.
Joe's hobbies were fishing and taking care of his dear step-son, Michael.
He was a premier contractor by trade and often called a "drifter" by
his family, before settling down in Mississippi. His descendancy comes
from James Washington Munnerlyn and Martha Martin, John Leonard Munnerlyn and
Emma Wobbington, Joseph William Munnerlyn & Gladys Mae Reed, then William
Joseph Munnerlyn & Diana Minnix.
