I am looking for my grandfather's relatives.His name was Adolphus D. Waldrop.All I know is that he was born in 1849, Died in 1938, Lived his adult life near Oxford, MS where he was twice married and had 13 children.I know he had a sister whose married name was Pierce and they lived in Alabama.Supposedly he joint the Civil War in 1864/1865 under the name of Pierce, was captured at the battle of Mobile and released from Lookout Mountain.
Some of his children were Jessie Waldrop, Roy Waldrop, Baby Lou (Lula) Waldrop Busby, Bessie Waldrop Peyton, Minnie Rue Waldrop Neal, my mother, Lizzy Waldrop, Ida Waldrop, and others.If you know of any of these, please post or contact me at my E=mail address.I am the youngest son of Minnie, but I am not the youngest of Adolphus' grandchildren.
