Vivian, If I remember right, he lived between Headland and Newville. In that general area. At one point they lived in Houston County. I remember the name Cottonwood, but I think that was short-lived. My ggrandparents always lived out from Headland. Their homeplace is still there and a cousin lives there now. I think it sits on SH431 now. I know when we were growing up grandpa's place was on a 2 lane road and then some years later the state came in and put in 4 lanes. It put the highway way up in their front yard. Kathy Kathy, You're welcome. Where did he live when he was growing up. The exact location if you know. I was raised out from Abbeville, Al. and my husband was raised close to Capps, Al and Newville, Al. Then I can ask him about it.
