My grandfather was John Franklin Tillis (1866-1940) son of John Henry Tillis and his first wife whose name is unknown to the family.My father, who passed away in 1992, knew neither Laura or Sally (second and third wives or maybe thrid and fourth)was the mother of John Franklin.When talking about them, my father referred to his father's brothers and sisters as half-uncle Wayne, Temp, Robert (I think he was referred to an Rob), and half-aunt Lee. The reason for referring to them as half whatever was because there were others in the family with the same names. By the way there was another sister named Eula Mae who married John Johnson and lived very near Dothan, Alabama (actually Cottondale or Cottonwood was the name of the town).I met her for the first time when I was very young.She was either visiting one of her sons or living with the son.At one point Lee was also there or I think it was her.There were two much older women in the house.
I have some information left by my father and I have contacted some of the other descendants. What type of information do you want to know?
I didn't think Lee had children.Daddy did not mention the names of their children, or I did not write them down.He knew the names of most of the other siblings' children.
