I do know my grandfather had quite a few full brothers and sisters. I was taken for visits to my great aunt - addie cuthberson at nebo. she had a son named after my grandfather. we have been told sam is buried at nebo united methodist church. however i question one thing - my grandmother died the day I was born. there are no reecords of her having been married before - her name was sallie bryson sweezie. there was a susan sweezy. two of her sisters married withrows. they were william and jason - both confederate soilders. my grandfathers brothers went west after the war, as railroad engineers, surveyors, and one was interested in medicine, also they were present as pinkerton men. we have quite a bit of info on the current family. my mother was the baby of the family and she was named after some of my grandfathers sisters. there was one named mary who married a man named freeman - perhaps in forest city. I am very interested in your info - between all of it we should resolve something. thank you
