Unbelieveable I think that you, Kathy Morris are my cousin, or something like that, I have been to Zoar United Methodist Church and have a photograph of William George and Melissa Emmaline's grave.It was approx 15 years ago at a Deese reunion held at Cheraw State Park.We drove over to Zoar and to Westfield Creek Baptist Church and a place that I was told was the site of an 'old homeplace', there were a lot of goats grazing on a large hillside with a house set off the road.I am in Greensboro NC, my grandmother was Catherine Aree White Monroe, her mother was Mary Emmy Deese White and I believe Mary Emmy's mother was Melissa Emmaline.I had no luck emailing you, likely because this was an old posting.The oldest living member of our family now is my great uncle, Thomas Wilson White, he is Mary Emmy's baby and only son.I hope to hear from you or any others out there who are 'family' or knowledgeable about the Deese family in Chesterfield Co or knowledgeable about this particular area around Zoar and Westfield Creek.
Best Regards
Kathy
