Hello Gussie,What a great surprise! I found someone that knows of Doc Sammons. I can only tell you of Sarah Sammons as she was my ggrandmother. I just found Doc about a month ago, so still researching family. He has one granddaughter still living, her name is Margaret Bates, age 91 years old, living in Gallipolis, Ohio. I went to see her about a month ago and she is the one that gave me what information I have on Doc, which is in little pieces at this stage. My grandmother was Lola Chapman, born March 1, 1910 in Peach Orchard District, Lawrence Co, KY., she died Aug 16, 1963. She married Hollie Marcum, Jan 29, 1926 in Earling, Wayne Co, WV. He was the son of Moses E Marcum and Mary Ann Toler. Her mother was Sarah Sammons, born Dec 3, 1877 in WV. She died Dec 17, 1959 in Vinton, Gallia Co, Ohio. Lolas father was Joseph Chapman,( his lineage are the Chapmans in Pike Co KY), born 1867, Logan Co, WV (this was Sarahs 2nd husband). Sarah Sammons was married first to Joe Witcher Marcum...they had 2 children, Samuel Marcum b1893 and Gracy Marcum b1894, d June 27, 1935. Sarah married Joseph and had the following children...James Burwell Chapman b12/11/1898, d2/8/1939; Bertha b1900, d1955; Ethel b1902, d1917; Walter b5/9/1904, d11/8/1953; Goldie b9/20/1907, d7/9/1967; then my grandmother, Lola. Sarah Sammons then married George Bates, their children were Iva May, b1913; John and Margaret b10/15/1914. John d12/18/1966.(seems to be a lot of twins born in Sammons family) I would love to have what information you have on David Doc Sammmons and family. In the 1880 Lawrence Co, KY census, his family was listed as follows; Doc, age34, farmer, b KY; Sarah E, age33, b WV; Victoria, age10, bWV; Mary E, age7, b KY; Sarah age4, b WV; John G, age3, b WV. Also in the home was Thomas Pack, age14, and Milton Spurlock, age25. Margaret Bates says that she thinks there was another son named Joshua. Thank you very much for helping me find my family. Rhonda
