Barbara, What does the W stand for in George W. Poythress? Is it Washington? My great great grand father was George Washington Poythress. Thanks, Cindy

Cindy, I haven't seen anywhere what the "W" in George W Poythress' name stood for, but certainly it would be logical at that time that he could have been named George Washington Poythress. Do you have the dates of your great-great-grandfather's birth & death; if so I'd sure appreciate having them. Thanks for writing, Barbara

Cindy, Barbara......I guess I got to this conversation late but there is another George Washington Poythress, son of Meredith Poythress, Sr. & second wife Hester Wilder Mock. There is virtually no record of him except the recording of his birthdate by Hester's brother who also recorded the same for the other 4 children of this union. I guess if you two are talking about a VA George W. Poythress there isn't a chance of a connection. Maynard -----Original Message----- From: Barbara P.
