Deb, I have been told that my grandfather and father were related to your Belle Ethridge Goss.My grandfather was John Albert Ethridge, the son of Martha Melissa Halley and a man named Ethridge/Etheridge; they lived in Union Parish, then Richmond Parish, LA between 1870 and to the time of John Albert's death in WWI.I am searching for the name of his father.
Martha's brother, William A. Halley, married a woman named Cumi T. Etheridge, the daughter of William A. Etheridge and Nancy Wilson in Drew Co., AR a couple of years after my grandfather was born (1891), so I was also wondering if Belle and the Ethridge family (they lived right next door to the Halley family in 1880 in Union Parish) in Drew Co., AR were related closely?Cumi had a brother named Albert Etheridge born in 1870 in Drew Co., but I don't know what ever happened to him.I'm just wondering how Belle and her family would be related to this Arkansas Etheridge family?
Any help you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
