I am getting totally desperate. Have been helping or trying to help my daughter worked on this family for 5 years and have made absolutely no progress. Am doing this for the grandchildren, or would have already given up. My grandchildren's other grandmother was Nina HARRIS, married second to Zealous LOGGINS. She passed away in 1994 at age 60-63. Her parents were Nellie Ethel TESTERMAN and John Alexander HARRIS. Nellie had 14 children - she married very young [I was told about age 14] and died in the 1930s. HARRIS was much older than she was. Both are buried in the Scott-Blevins Cemetery in West Jefferson. My daughter went to the cemetery, saw the headstones and copied the dates. However, in the very messy divorce that followed, she lost that paper. So one of my problems is I need the dates from those two headstones. I am not able to travel due to health problems. Now for the rest of the problem. Nellie's parents were Coller [that is the way it was pronounced but have no idea of the actual spelling] TESTERMAN and Sarah/Susan PARSONS. They are buried somewhere in West Jefferson. It was late when my daughter was there and she was told she would be taken to the cemetery the next day, but something happened and she didn't make it. I would just about sell my soul for the information on those two tombstones. We have looked EVERYWHERE under every spelling for Coller we could imagine for information on him. Have sat for HOURS in front of the microfilm reading going on over Ashe county census returns for something that remotely resembles his name and cannot find it. As I said, there were 14 of Nellie Ethel TESTERMAN and John Alexander HARRIS. The ALL as far as I know went by the name HARRIS. However the daughter of one of the sons [her last name was HARRIS] found her dad's birth certificate by accident one day and it gave his name as BLEVINS. If ANYONE can shed some light on this for me, I will personally nominate you for sainthood!!
