My Great great grandfather was John B. Southerland m. Mary Blount. Their children were: Vivonce b. 1854 d. 18 July 1883 Betty b. 1846 Emma b. 1856 John b. 1859 Wallace b. 1863 Mary L. Robert George D. Vivonce was my great grandmother who married Luther R. Millard. He was a teacher at the Kenansville Acadamy. Their daughter, Sallie Osborn Millard Smith was my grandmother. She was born in Turkey, NC, but think that they resided in Kenansville. I only recently discovered my father's family in the Mt. Olive, NC area. Before that I had never met anyone in his family. If you are from Mt. Olive, you might know the Williams and Smith families, who are also my relatives. My Smith family were from Indian Springs and they lived on a plantation their called the Peele House. I also have Pipkin, Peele, Smith in our family, but know the least about the Southerland family. I would appreciate any information you could give me. Thank you so much, Ruth. Sue
