Posted on: Pike County, Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Pike/1722 Surname: Jayroe, Howard, Boswell ------------------------- I am trying to research my Jayroe ancestry. I have just recently obtained info about my great-grandmother's parents being Levi George Jayroe and Laura Howard.
