I do not have a date. George Edward went by Ed. He died in 1971 in Beauregard Parish LA. Both he and Gussie are buried in the Cannon Cemetery in Beauregard Parish. Gussie was b 18 Dec 1899 in Calcasieu Parish (now Beauregard) and died 29 May 1970. She was the daughter of Samuel Jefferson and Mary Magdalene Hennigan Meadows. Ed and Gussie had one daughter, Mary Jo born 1924 or 1925 and now deceased, who married Billy Gore. Mary Jo and Billy have one daughter, Molly Dell born about 1953. Gussie was my husband's aunt. I would be interested in information you have on Ed's siblings and parents. My mother-in-law was a Nichols but they don't appear to have been related. You state he was born in Texas but he said in the 1920 and 1930 census that he was born in Louisiana. I didn't ask him when he was living and noone else in the family seems to know for sure.

It seems that all of us have the same info on Richard Green (from Russell O. Faulkner's info back in the 60s), but no further info on his lineage or his wife, Virginia Ann Harrison. I have some theories on whom Virginia's parents are, but none on Richard's. I did connect with a person who was a descendant of his friend and fellow "ship jumper," and she tried to tie them back in England on possible War of 1812 muster ship rolls, but no luck. So, we are guessing that they jumped off a merchant ship, maybe one where they had been "pressed" on board. Anyway, I am always asking does anyone have any pictures of these people or their kids. Would love to see anything. Anyway, write me back privately at my e-mail address. Would like to share info. Kim
