From the dates on your messages, I see they are from a while back, but I just found them, so thought I'd share. May be old news to you by now.
My grandfather was John Thomas Diamond, whose father was Peter Lazarus Diamond (b10-16-1849, d 10/6/1929 in Jay, Santa Rosa Co., FL.). He married Mary Ezell (sometimes called Marietta or Molly--called Marietta apparently due to the fact that, at the time of her birth, her father was in the Confederate Army at Marietta, GA.-heard this from family history passed down only). I have her birth as being 9/5/1863 in Cottage Hill, FL. and d 10-1-1934 in Jay. I have a copy of her death certificate, says died of acute indigestion 1/2 hour after breakfast.
Mary's parents were Jesse B. Ezell (1824-1877) and Eliza Wells (b 1937?). This was her first marriage. Her second marriage was late-in-life to John Diamond II (Peter Lazarus Diamond's father who was born on a sandbar in a hollow log on the Chattahooche River in 1814, supposedly while escaping from Indians,) he died in 1908. Seems very confusing to me. They say she was called "White Grandma" because John Diamond II was called "White Grandpa" due his long white beard.
Eliza's parents were Little Wells and Henrietta Johnson. (John Diamond II first wife was Mary Elizabeth Johnson??) Henrietta's parents were Robert Johnson and Martha Roberts and Littleton's parents' were Ben Wells and Lyda "Black Dutch". She was born in Holland and it was said had dark skin.
I have Jesse Ezell's parents as being GJohn Ezell and Sarah Polk and John's father was Timothy Ezell.
Any mis-information I have I'd love to know. Or if anyone has more information, I'd love to know that too. Thanks, Helen
