My grandfather was Oscar Thomas or Thomas Oscar Westbrook born in Forney Alabama according to his social security application in 1893. He has one full sister named Lorena dob 1896 who married into the Molock family somewhere around Rome Georgia. On the 1900 census records Papa was enumerated with his maternal grandparents, Andrew and Nancy Hite on the Rock Run, Cherokee County records. According to what I was told by my grandmother in 1972 (I have carried these scrap pieces of paper around for year and years), Papa's mother Becky Hite-Westbrook died and he was raised by his grandparents. On the 1880 census records there is a Francis R. Hite who's age falls into the right time frame to be Becky of the R is for Rebecca. His father was Gene Westbrook, son of Wash and Minnie Reeves or Reeds Westbrook. After Becky died Gene moved possibly to Jefferson County. My father saw him as a young boy so it would be between 1920 and 1935. Becky is buried some where up in the Piedmont area. This is my wall. I have not paper trail on Gene at all. Really none on Becky except for her parents. What is left of my family either knows nothing, aren't saying or in no condition mentally to help me. I am planning a trip to the Birmingham/Piedmont area in May. This line can not just appeared from the sky's, haha. The reason I am posting it to the Georgia sites also is according to my mom Papa moved back and forth across the border to the Rome area so much she isn't sure where I should be searching. If you can help me I would appreciate it. Would like a blue print for this hunt before I fly in. Merry Ann
