I have some data on Eber Alexander Rabb, born 10/1865 in LA (parents born in SC), died 7/10/1941 in Caddo Parish, buried in Cottage Grove Cemetery.He was married on 12/11/1889 to Lucy T. Hughes, born 2/1870 in AL, died 1939 and buried in CG Cemetery.They had 8 children:James Eber Rabb, born 4/13/1898, died 10/18/1898, buried in CGC; Lucille Rabb, born 10/1890 in Caddo Parish, LA; Annie Gray Rabb, born 5/1893 in Caddo Parish, LA (she was a nurse in the 1930 census); Ruby H. Rabb, forn 9/1895 in Caddo Parish, LA; Willie Hughes Rabb, born 10/1899 in Caddo Parish, LA; Johnny Rabb, born 5/29/1904 in Caddo Parish, LA, died 1991 (married Hollis ? in 1930; Ben Jack Rabb, born 1 /2/1906 in Caddo Parish, LA, died 9/1976 in Tupelo, Lee Co., MS (married to Tempe Cornilia Cage); and Sadie Rabb, born 1908 (in 1930 census she is listed as a stenographer in an oil company office.
My grandfather James Herron Rabb and Eber Alexander Rabb were cousins.Your grandfather Ben Jack Rabb and my father John Reuben Rabb were 2nd cousins if this information coincides with yours.I have been unable to determine who Eber's parents were but James Herron's were J. Woodard Rabb and Margaret Herron.
I'm in the middle of a genealogy search of my Rabb/Strayhan/King connections and just found your posting.I sure hope you are still active.
