I just wanted to add to Karen's usual great work that I think the full name of James Henry Milby's dad was Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna Milby. About the time he was born (1873) The former Mexican dictator of that name was being allowed to return to Mexico from exile and would have been in the news. Not surprisingly, it is spelled in a variety of ways by census takers, etc. Most seemed to have just called him Antie or Antia. Anyway- that is my theory. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <KYGREEN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 12:15 AM Subject: [KYGREEN] James Henry MILBY Obit 1944 > Father: Antia Antonio La Pas De Santa Milby (9 Aug 1873 - 25 Nov 1957) > Mother: Katie Victoria Marcum (1884 - 15 Mar 1924) > > 1910 Green Co.
