If John Henry was a son of Jeremiah and Emeline, then my Great Grandfather George Washington Roland was I guess his half-brother or step brother because G.W. was born after Jeremiahs death. Sometime after. So I don't know if he was adopted by Emeline or what, but the census records I have seen and the discussions I have had with remaining family members, Emeline was definitely his mother. I applied and recieved G.W. Rolands Death certificate and his father is listed as Jerry. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
