American Life Histories: Manuscripts from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1940 http://memory.loc.gov "What is the size of your parent's family?" I had asked. "Will you tell me something of your ancestry and their occupational background. And where you were born?" "I, am the only son of the late Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Bayer of Winston-Salem, N, C. There were five children, one boy and four girls. Two of these girls died in their infancy. My other two sisters are still living. Both are married but the oldest sisters' husband is dead. This sister has a daughter fourteen years of age. I am single. "Both of my parents were reared in early childhood on the farm but later moved to the city and there made their home, never to return to the farm. "The place of my birth is High Point, North Carolina. We are the descendants of German stock. Our ancestors came over from Germany perhaps around 1700, and landed in South Carolina, then settled in Davidson County of North Carolina." -- Barbara Farthing Bonham Summerville SC The Family Snitch's Web http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bfbonham Crawford County PA Genealogy Society http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacrawgs/ Halifax Co, VA - VAGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~vahalifa/indexhal.htm
