His Grandmother was Hattie Louise b mar 1891 in Ky. She married Roy Barney Sloan. Their children included my mother-in-law Esther Louise Sloan who married Owen Timmons Longberry. There son Owen Joseph Longberry was my husband. Hattie told me her father Dawson Burgess Elliott was the son of Thomas Elliott and Martha Jane Hawkins. Dawson was born 13 Sep 1850, in Glasgow, Barren, Kentucky. He died 24 Jun 1947, in Connersville, IN and is buried in Dale Cemetarty. She also claimed a brother John William b 31 Mar 1888 in addition to the ones you listed. At one time the family lived in Richmond , Indiana. I have further information if you are interested. Hattie lived with my husband's parents for a good part of their lives and I knew her for the final six year of her life. She had very little to say about her father, Dawson, who for some reason was also called "Black Jack" beyond the bare facts. Can you shed any light on this? Mary Slocum Longberry Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
