Rosetta McBride – James’s older sister and Ruth’s oldest daughter, who was appointed to keep the younger children in line and who became a psychologist. William (Billy) McBride – James’s older brother who enjoyed teasing him and who became a medical director.

Dorothy McBride-Wesley – James’s sister who became a medical practice office manager. Kathy J
