I am the great-granddaughter of Ella Mae Poythress, b. January 16, 1866 and d. May 13, 1937 in Orange County, North Carolina. She married Sydney Freemont Long. I believe her father is George W. Poythress and her mother Permelia/Pamela Susan due to Census records. I also believe George W.'s father is Edward Poythress and his mother Mahala Nance, again due to census records. I am trying to find more information about any of these families, especially Edward's parents (Lewis Poythress and Patsey Elizabeth Giles?) and grandparents. Any ideas? Thanks, Nicole Gooding-Ray
