IDA McGriff's family-Sanders/Gray connection
I'm looking for Ida McGriff-or her family.
She wrote a letter to Tim Mattingly yrs.ago-
I'm researching my SANDERS family line.
Below is our family connection-through IDA.
=================================================
August 2, 1942- IDA MCGRIFF
-Clark Lake, Michigan-
Letter from: Ida McGriff -To: Mrs. Hueston
--------------[closing section of that letter below]--
Jennie Sanders Leeke
Elizabeth (Betsey) Sanders Sisk, Rona
Matilda Sanders Gravatt
Margaret Sanders Gray – (Ida’s family)-
John Merill Sanders
Wyatt Sanders
James Sanders
Aaron Sanders
William (Uncle Bill) Sanders
This is the Sanders family as I remember that are our ancestors.
Here is a little of my imaginings and wonder. I once read a book that told of the immigration of the a settlement of Scotch people to the Carolinas in I am sure it was in the year 1800.
Now I wonder if my Great Grandfather might have been one of that bunch and if he was married at the time. Since my Grandmother was born in 1823 and I think she might have been about the third from the youngest he would almost have had to have been married then or soon after.
As I figure their ages, Aunt Jennie must have been born as early as 1801, or maybe a year or two earlier.I am not sure but think Uncle Bill was the youngest and thought maybe Aunt Matilda might have been next and then Grandmother.
