You are right on target! Marion and Johnnie are my children's grandparents - and their markers (last time I was there) are in place. I don't know who - or our connection to - Siddie and Claudia are. What I desperately want to find is the location of the graves of Thomas Henry Godwin (6/28/1920) and Sarah E. Hammac Godwin (3/27/1921). I was told they are buried under a tree - but the markers are gone and I can't guess where they might be. Have you ever heard anything about the McArthur family - we assume they must have come to Escambia Co. from AL probably with the Godwin ancestors - especially parents of Johnnie McArthur Godwin? Thanks SO MUCH for your help! Jeanne -----Original Message----- From: Evan R.
