Geraldine, b. ca 1911 as I recall, proves back to two sons of Isaac DuBose. I have not found any trace of DuBois in her family. I am very interested in your statement regarding a DuBose who was a Methodist Bishop. Please tell me more about him...his line, if you know it. We were sitting in the largest Methodist church in NC a couple of month ago and while studying the outstanding stained glass windows I noticed a small DuBose figure placed at the lower left foot of Christ. I look froward to hearing from you. Bebe Johns Fox Winston-Salem, NC
