My great-grandfather, Anderson had a brother named Elbert. I strongly believe he it may be your grandfather because they are from the same area Brundidge which is in Pike county alabama. Anderson and Elbert were the children of Prince and Jennie Burney who were of African american and Indian ancestry. As well, during the course of my research, I have run across reference to your grandfather Dowling and uncles, Wayman and Ceaphus. Please contact me for additional information. My contact information is K. Burney, P.O. Box 216326, Sacto, CA 95821. Look forward to hearing from you.
