Jim Foster ----- Original Message ----- > IRMA, > > I AM ONE OF GIDEON'S GGR-GRANDDAUGHTERS. I LIVE IN ARKANASAS AND HAVE DONE MUCH RESEARCH ON THE WOODRUFF'S AND BOBO'S. GIDEON DID MARRY A PHILADELPHIA BOBO, DTR. OF LEVINGTON BOBO. THE BOBO NAME CHANGED OVER TIME FROM ITS ORIGINAL SPELLING-A FRENCH (HUHGENET(?) FAMILY. MY GR-GRANDFATHER WAS AMOS PARKER WOODRUFF WHO MARRIED FRANCIS D. HASTINGS. SHE DIED BEFORE HE DID. THERE IS ANOTHER AMOS P. WOODRUFF (A COUSIN TO MY GT.GRANDFATHER AMOS). THIS PATICULAR AMOS WAS MARRIED TO A LAVINA BOBO ALSO. MANY BELIEVED MY GR-GRANDFATHER AMOS TO HAVE DIED IN THE EARLY1890'S. HOWEVER, I FOUND A MARRIAGE LICENSE TO A JENETTE ADKINS IN 1899 AND HIS SON AMOS PARKER WOODRUFF, JR. WAS BORN IN JULY, 1901. AMOS DIED IN APR. 1901 BUT HAVE YET TO FIND WHERE HE WAS BURIED, BUT HOPEFULLY WILL SOME DAY IT SOMEDAY.
