Trish, you asked where the death date came from - you show it but where did you get it from? I don't have one for him. I do have a Birthdate from the Bible which is posted - I think - on Lenoir. Can't get Netscape to work today. THere is a copy of the book at Heritage Place and would love to read it sometime. Best I can tell his parents were John and Winifred, but have not seen any proof for any of the sons of John and Winifred. Do you have the obit on Winifred from the Recorder? Ran it to the LEnoir list but might not have run it to Greene.
