Sorry. That wasn't Margaret Leavens who married Alma Youngblood. It was Lucille Leavens who married Johnnie Alma Youngblood SR. I believe they lived around the Pearson/Douglas, Ga area. Buried at Sweetwater Cem? Lucille is daughter of Calvin Cab Leavens & Elizabeth Spivey. Elizabeth is sister to my Gma Hattie Spivey. Ruby/Apopka, FL. I believe Sarah Rebecca Youngblood b. 1816-1920. is related. No proof. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ruby Slaven" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 31, 2004 9:50 PM Subject: Re: [GACOFFEE] SOME SOLOMONS WERE CRIMINALS: > No, Sarah Rebecca was his grandmother > The book is correct.
