Re: Biddy Family Tree 1720 to Present
The Rev. Elias Watus Biddy is my Great Grandfather and is buried at New Zion Baptist Church in Bartow County, Georgia.He was born August 16, 1851 and died September 26, 1926.He was married to Zilpha A. Dobson who died at age 96 in Bartow County, Georgia. I vagely remember her as she died when I was 4 years old.
The Rev. Elias W. Biddy was a son of Elias Watus Biddy who also was a Baptist minister in north Georgia, probably Pickens County.
I understand from John T. Ross's message of September 25, 2000 that Meshack Biddy was the father of Elias Watus Biddy and was born in Union County, SC.I also saw this on a family tree when I attended the Biddy reunion in Bessemer, Alabama a few years ago.
Do you have further information concerning Meshack Biddy and his ancesters?
By the way, I understand that Watus was pronounced "wait-us" according to my uncle who has visited the norh Georgia area where he lived.
