for my downline, see --- ELSONFamily GenForum - Message #191 posted Jun 20, 2001by Gena Guess (myself)
Hello cousin Teresa!!!My GREAT- grandparents are George Washington ELSON, Jr & Callie Lorene [WICKS] > my grandparents Agnes [ELSON] & Herman C. GUESS > my father GUESS (living) & my mother [CHESSHIRE] living (they are divorced) > myself Gena [Guess].
I am curious in that my great-grandfather always tagged"Jr" to the end of his name... and his mother Janet [Hood] Elson lived in teeny little Red River Co, Texas (and died there) for many years so his widow Callie [Wicks] Elson would have known her well.....his records atWoodFuneral Home, Bogata, Red River Co, Texas, state his father was George Washing Elson, Sr and his mother was Janet [Hood].....hmmm - could they have been William George Washington..... Sr and Jr.....?
I'm sorry to say I have next to nothing to share except information on my great-grandparents > children > g-chn as I have only been researching my ELSON ancestry for a few months.But, what I do have on my great-grandparents is from reliable sources and I will be more than happy to share this as well as everything I find about our common grandparents in the future !Would love to hear from you!Gena Guess, Red River County, Texas.
