Do you need any more information on JULIA AMANDA COSBY who married Jeffie Joel Dunaway?I have been working on my Whitaker and Dunaway ancestors.Can you tell me if the following is near accurate.....Julia Amanda Cosby was daughter of Charles L. Cosby and Sarah A. Bettie Whitaker.Bettie Whitaker was d/o Alexander W. Whitaker and AMANDA LOUIZER DUNAWAY.Amanda Louizer Dunaway was d/o Pleasant Dunnaway and Nancy White.....same ancestors of her husband, Jeffie Joel Dunaway.Parents of Alexander W. Whitaker were John Whitaker and Nancy Ann Elizabeth Wood. Julia Amanda Cosby had 7 siblings......some using last name of COSBYand some CROSBY.Difference in spelling of name came about because siblings were put with neighbors and relatives when their mother died and father abandoned them.Siblings are: William Lemuel Crosby b. 1888 - Sula Ilene Cosby b. 1893 - Louis Yancie Crosby b. 1896 - Leona Cosby - Compton Crosby b. 1898 - Myrtle Cosby b. 1900 - Josie, died at birth.Charles L. Cosby was s/o Andrew (Drury) Smith Cosby and Julia Ann Cashion.I have a file on Cosby family that was done many years ago.It gives siblings of Charlie Cosby as Lemuel Prior Cosby, Lucy Ann Cosby, Martha (Mattie) Cosby.This family was in Lowndes County, MS which would have been in Alabama at that time.
