    3. Does anyone have info on Gordon Zebendon of Polk Co. Fl. for the years of 1910-1930 or so. He was a Sheriff's deputy for the polk co. dept and was injured in a laor strike in 1919 at or near old Tiger Bay out of Ft. Meade. I found that in the 1910 census of Polk Co he was listed in precinct 10 other than town ) with wife Minnie her two daughters, Myrtle Ellerbe and Donnie Ellerbe and her son Clarence Ellerbe. Minnie is my G Grandmother and she divorced John Ellerbe sometime around 1905/06. No one in the family still living remembers her marrying a Zebendon. Did Gordon die from the injuries when he was shot in the labor fracas. Minnie did later remarry a J.T. Knowles and divorced him in the 20's. One son was born to this marriage, J. C. Knowles and he died young before marriage. Minnie was Minnie Lee Murray before marrying John Alexander Ellerbe around 1888/89. Her parents were Nancy and William Murray and they lived in Tampa moving there abt. 1887 from Hamilton Co. Fl. Nancy was still living in Tampa in the 1900 census with a son Eddie. Any help will be appreciated. Denton Cash, Wauchula Fl.
