My father was Thomas Clifton Blackshear, born Dec. 21, 1922, oldest of 5 brothers (John Miles, James Paul, Charles and Wendell). They lived in GA. Their father was Rufus King Blackshear, a Primitive Baptist Preacher. If anyone has any info about Rufus' parents, grandparents, etc., please let me know. Thanks so much. Lori
