Janie, Did you ever get an answer about this? Jerry can explain about the White connection a lot better than I can.

Sure was glad as I had some long ones in those pages. I also decided I could not read all my notes on each page because if it was something that needed to be done I had already taken care of it and I don’t need to waste all that time. Got a few questions: Jerry, don’t know how much of this you know about but found quite a few things on Aunt Ruby. 1. Find her listed as (Ruby) Willie White when she married Lee Monroe Devine. Where did the “white” come from. It is her maiden name? ( Here is a note from my database: Personal Notes by Ken Jackson: She was married to a White, then Lee Divine before she married Uncle Homer. Her maiden name is supposed to be Foley, according to mama, but some of her grandchildren wonder if this really was her maiden name.) On the 1940 census, she had a son that lived with her and Uncle Homer in Carroll Co., MS. Up Airbase Road almost to Centerville Baptist. I think Jerry and I talked about her remembering living there. But for the life of me, I cannot remember his first name. I foun d them on the 1940 Carroll Co., MS census once, but didn't note the location and could not find it again. 2. Did Lee Devine die in Blackhawk or Koscuisko? He was -1-1973born 2.24.1893 and died 1-1-73 and is buried in Hesterville in the New Salem Cemetery. He married Grace Lee Woods after Ruby. Grace was born 6—9-18 in Tate Co., MS. and died 5-19-97 in Attala Co., MS. (Unknown to me. Be nice to get a death certificate for him.) 3. Grace has a son listed as James Earl Van Cleave born 11-19-45 (this seems improbable as Grace was born in 1918 but not impossible) and he died 1-6-90 in Vietnam. I didn’t find anything to indicate who his father was. He and his mother were also buried in New Salem Cemetery. (Unfamiliar with this, too.) 4. Do you know who Henry was? One place he is called her brother and one place her father! ( I have her parents as John Henry Foley and Angie F. Henry. Was this Henry's name Henry Foley?) Does anyone know what name Horton Lee Jr. went by. I don’t have any info on him. I did find his mother, Rubylee Frances buried on 11-5-86 at Westlawn Memorial Park & Mausoleum Cemetery. (All I ever knew was "Horton Junior".) I have two death dates for Uncle Golden. Did he die in 1961 or 1962? (6 Dec 1962 - buried at Odd Fellows Cemetery in Greenwood, Leflore Co. MS.) (His obituary from the Delta- Democrat, Greenville, Ms, 4 Dec 1962:) --------------------------------- Golden Palmertree Greenwood - Golden Palmertree, 52, a longtime resident, died in Greenwood-Leflore Hospital today about 7 a.m., after a lengthy illness.
