Oh, please tell me that's true! John and Kizziah are mine and she has been wandering around with no last name long enough!

(guess he couldn't read <G>) OK, which wife was the Mother of Christopher Columbus, Jr.? Does anyone have a list of all 21 children? How in the world did they have time to get anything else done? Didn't they farm? Or something? Can someone post the article on the Whitmire family from ther Heritage Book? Is there one on the Mauldin family? > > Christopher Columbus, Jr. First wife, Jane Galloway, 6 children. 2nd > > wife, Martha Ann Driman, no children. This agrees with what I have, in case anyone is interested Martha Ann's parents were James and Diadema Dryman, there has been some speculation that Diadema may have been a daughter of John Dillard, but that's entire 'nother story of confusion and hair pulling! > > > > Does anyone have anything different or does this sound right? > > > > ==== GALLOWAY Mailing List ==== > > Need mailing list help? > > lraxter@citcom.net > > -- > > Linda Hoxit Raxter > lraxter@citcom.net > See Indexed Western North Carolina Cemetery Surveys > http://www.geocities.com/~alextreehouse > > related to at least half the county - at least once ; ) -- Sherry in Georgia osburn@bellsouth.net Genealogy - a search for the greatest treasures - our ancestors Sherry's Genealogy Home Page - Our Georgia Families: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6370/index.html Dryman Family Page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6370/dryman.html Gilmer County USGENWEBPage: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6370/gilmer.html Seminole County USGENWEB Page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6370/seminole.html Webster County USGENWEB Page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/6370/webster.html
