Grant. > For some reason or another my Grandmother is in the household of John R. > Hackney and Bettie E. Hackney who resided at Black Walnut, Halifax, Virginia, > In the census I am looking at (if this is correct)...Ruth Dorcus is 7 years > old. John R. Hackney is 23 years old and Bettie E. Hackney is 27 years old. > Something must have happen to her parents for her not to be with them...and > in another household. > Ruth Dorcus Grant married John Aaron Ray from Halifax County, Virginia.
