Connie: Do you recall the Johns families, the Floyd's and the Lee's and the Herrins around Hickox, and Nahunta GA area close to Waycross? My Mother was born in 1934 Hickox GA her parents were Mae Bell Johns but she changed it to Maybel as a child making it one letter shorter and one word. She married a cousin Harley Lovejoy Johns. Maybel was a 1/2 sister and older to George Johns, Vernon Johns, Ellis Johns, Betty Johns etc. Her parents were Albert Lewis Johns and Martha Jane Lee and her Step-Mother/Cousin was Martha Lee's daughter Irene Alvira Nettles who's Father was Martin Nettles Jr. Harley's parents were Dillie Lovejoy Johns and Minnie Hickox. Uncle George Johns had some children: One Margie Faye married a Crews he died just a bit back due to cancer. Aley and Myrtle Lee who live in between Hickox and Nahunta are my cousins. Both of them are: Aley is kin through Martha Jane Lee he is a Grandchild to her brother. Myrtle Lee was born a Strickland and goes back to Levi Strickland. Do you see anything in this. I would like to find more out about my Herrin connection one day. Grannie said we are kin but she never told me how and now she is gone.
