Your info is extremely helpful. This sounds about right. I know my great grandfather, Hershel, had a brother named William "Bill" and a sister named Maybell(sp?). May I ask how you found Sallie's maiden name? I have come up with name Gladden as well. I'm just hoping you have something I don't have. I'm having a really hard time with Albert as well. Have you found anything on him prior to 1900? I found a census showing an Albert living as a laborer in a household by the name of Farmer. I'm pretty sure it's him, but I was wondering if you had come to the same conclusion. Also I see his middle initial changes from census to census which makes it ever trickier. I also found some earlier censuses of an Albert Pruet, son of William and Phebe in Cherokee county, but there are a few discrepancies that make me question if it's the same Albert. I see your maiden name is Pruitt. Perhaps we are related! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
