At last I found the booklet that Moore County historian and
Mal Lee Medlin put together on the Medlin Familiy of Moore
County, North Carolina. According to their research of my
Medlin family, my great grandfather, James Ander Medlin was
the son of, Benjamin Medlin and Betty Estes. Soe have used
the spelling "Estrige" but it was indeed "Estes". She was
the daughter of William Estes of Old Moore County, now Lee
County. Benjamin Medlin and Betty Estes-Medlin also had
a daughter named Alice. She married a Crutchfield. They had
three sons that are spoken of; James Ander Medlin, my great
grandfather, who married first, great grandmother, Lela
Stewart. After bearing children on twelve different times
and one of them a set of twins, great grandmother died in
Lee County, NC.,... Grandfather would then marry a little
while later the widow, Zeda Graham. I met Zeda before her
death at the Convalescent Home she was living at. I knew
one of her sons, Calvin Graham very well although he was
a lot older. Grandfather went by the name Jim Medlin. He
had a brother named, William Robert Medlin that married
Carrie Lynn Porter. He went by the name, Bill. I heard my
mother and her aunts talk often of Uncle Bill Medlin. As
a matter of fact Bill and Carrie were the parents of Mal
Lee Medlin, researcher and publisher of this booklet.
The last brother was Uncle Chester Horner Medlin, known as
Uncle Chess...I remember the edlin Reunions we use to have
at the Tramway Comunity Center when I was a boy. The daily
Sanford newspaper would send out a photographer to take
pictures of the whole family in a group shot. That was back
in the year 1961-62. I was only eight-or-nine years old
thn. I sure wish I had listen more at those reunions. I do
remember that Mal Lee would tell of one of our great uncles
or grandfathers who remarried a woman who had children. Not
long after marrying her, he ran away to Georgia or out west
with her daughter...his stepdaughter and never came back.
Don't that put the icing on the cake. I didn't say they
were perfect..just family! Anyone knows anymore about this
particular line please drop me a line. Would love to hear from you.
