VANN,MYERS,WHITE,HOBBY,ELLIS,GRANT,SC>AL
Looking for parents,siblings,cousins, and relatives for my ancestor's who lived in Henry,Houston,Dale,Barbour,and other surrounding counties in early to mid 1800's to middle 1900's.
My gg grndfthr. as far as I know according to my grnfthrs. Bible was JEFFERSON WHITE b:1813 SC. , pob.-unk?; d: 1863 pod.-unk?
It is very possibly he is my 3rd great grand father. I say this due to his birth and the time elapsed between his birthday and my grt.grnfthrs. DOB.. But as some have told me it is still possible so I have to go on what I know taken from my grandfathers Bible..
JEFFERSON WHITE md: dom.-unk? to +ELIZOR GRANT , Elizor may have been short for Elizabeth or Eliza. I have no proof of this. Elizor GRANT b:1819 in GA., d:1901 pod:-unk?; As far as I know they had only one child from what I was told by my Grandmother.....
His name was JOHN N./W. WHITE b:1860/64 Fla. or possibly Ala.; d: abt-1917 Cottondale Jackson Co., Fla.; md: abt.1886 pom.-unk? to +MARY EDNA SAVANNAH JOSEPHINE "Josie" (HOBBY) b: 4 Mar. 1860 in Ala. probably the Dothan, Henry/Houston Co. area., d: 18 Oct. 1947 Sarasota,Sarasota Co., Fla.
