Shirley, This should help you out. I have the following on my great great grandparents. Elmira "Myra" Lowery (d/o Alexander "Elec" W. Lowery and Rachell McKinney) born about 1852, died about 1886 (buried Grassy Creek Bapt. Church Cem Michell Co). She married (in Feb 1870) Jesse Wilburn Biddix(s/o George Biddix and Nancy Smith) born 14 Dec 1848, died 17 May 1917 (buried McKinney Family Cem.) They had the following children... Jesse Rolduph Biddix (b. 13 Mar 1871, d. ?) married Sara Parcilla Padgett on 12 Aug 1894 Alice Jane Biddix (my great grandmother) born 28 Sept 1876,died 25 Mar 1908, married Waitsell Marion Mckinney on 1 April 1897. Flem Biddix (married Daisy Chapman) Tom Biddix (married Queenie Ingram) Vistie Biddix Emma Biddix born 20 April 1884, died 10 Oct 1959 (married a Parker) Do you think that Jesse Rolduph Biddix is the Jesse S you asked about? It looks like it since he married a Sarah Parcilla Padgett. Jesse was born 13 Mar 1871 and married Sarah on 12 Aug 1894. I also have Jesse Wilburn Biddix married to Cora Greene Stubbs and a Sarah Galathia McKinney (who was Waitsell Marion McKinney's sister) but they did not have any sons named Jesse. Let me know if this helps. William D.

I would like to ask you a question about the children of Jesse Wilburn BIDDIX and Elmira LOWERY. Do you show a Jesse S. BIDDIX as a son of Jesse Wilburn BIDDIX and Elmira LOWERY, and are there other children as well? I have been researching the families of the children of my gr-gr-grandfather, Noah PADGETT of Rutherford County. Noah's daughter, Sarah Percilla PADGETT married Jesse S. BIDDIX in Rutherford County ca. 1894. I had not been able to find anything about his parents in Rutherford County, but I found a direct descendant of Sarah P. PADGETT and Jesse S. BIDDIX (Randy & Pat Hovis of Lincolnton, NC) and was told by them that Jesse's parents were "J. Wilburn BIDDIX and Elmira LOWERY." They also gave me the names of George BIDDIX and Nancy SMITH as J. Wilburn's parents. Other than this I have nothing on Jesse S. BIDDIX. I was hoping that if you have him in your database as a son of Jesse Wilburn and Elmira, you might have some other information on him as well. I would be happy if you could confirm for me that Jesse S. is indeed the son of Jesse Wilburn and Elmira. Thank you for any help. I appreciate you taking the time to check.
