ROAN - COX of Rapides and Grant Parishes
My g-grandfather was Earl Alfred Roan, born 7 Nov 1894 in Georgetown, LA.His parents were James Elijah and Garaphelia Terrisee SMITH ROAN.James was born 9 March 1866 in Farmerville, LA area and Garaphelia was born 7 July 1868 in Rocky Branch, LA.They moved to Georgetown, LA and raised their family and died there. He died on 16 Jan 1900 and she died 15 Jan 1931.Both are buried in the area.All sons and daughters are now dead.
Helen COX ROAN, my g-mother, was born 11 Aug 1899 in Coffeyville, KS.Her parents were John C. (Clyde) and Ethel VAN ATTA COX.Both were from the Coffeyville area.I have no dates or info on them except that they both died in Alexandria, LA.Both in the 1940s I think.John C. was the manager of the Meeker Sugar Mill commissary for many years after 1900.
Any info would be appreciated.
