They were from York. Anthony and Pearl moved from SC to Gastonia, NC where Pearl had a resturant that might have been burned down by the KKK, family home no longer there, They had a son Lewis Lee who was in Gastonia, NC with his family until they moved to DC. Lewis's wife was Lois Mammie Jeter and their three children, Lewis Jr"Jun", Mary, and baby Willie to DC. Anthony and Pearl may have gone to DC also. Lois had a sister that passed and worked at Belks prior to moving with the family to DC.Other family names Jeter, Chambers, Mc Cluney, Rhyne, Welch, all family from the SC/NC areas. Some one from this family was also active in the black school system and the House of Prayer there in Gastonia. Family got the book mobile to stop in the black neighborhood since the children could not go into the town Library. Can anyone help with thse oral stories and the connection to Byers family history.
