Hi Jennifer,
I'm trying to find my husband's Grandfather's family on his Mother's side, Norrod.I believe Grandpa's mother was Polly Norrod m. William Padgett. The 1880 Overton Census has a William Padgett with a wife, Polly, and a daughter Deliah Ann.I know Grandpa had a sister Deliah Ann, his father was William, and was born in Overton Co. I have to assume it is the right family.If it is, she died at the time of Grandpa's birth (1882) and his mother's family raised him.I believe one of the aunts who raised him was Cora Norrod, her sister was Berenthy or something like that.I don't know Polly's parents name nor anyone else, except one of those aunts may have married a Ramsey, or a Ramsey married a child of one of those aunts.Grandpa was closed mouthed about his family.If you or your mother could help me, I would so much appreciate it. Thanks.
M. Carter
