Pat, If you are looking for relatives, you have found one. F.M. Sandidge's listed father, John R. Sandidge, was a brother of my great grandfather, James Milton Sandidge. While I don't have F.M. listed as one of John's children, it is possible that he was born after the last U.S. Census record I have found listing the family. It is as follows: ED 68, page 1,1900 U.S. Federal Census for Beat # 3, Livingston, Madison County, Mississippi, dated 2 June 1900. Sandridge, John R., age 37, born June 1862, in Mississippi of father and mother born in Tennessee. He was a farmer who had been married 15 years and had the following family: Sandridge, Emma (wife), age 34, born Dec 1865, in Mississippi of father born in Tenn and mother born in Mississippi. She had 4 children - all of whom were living. Sandridge, Maggie L. (dau), age 14, born Sept 1885, in Mississippi of parents born in Mississippi. She attended school. Sandridge, Lottie K. (dau), age 12, born Feb 1888, in Mississippi of parents born in Mississippi. She attended school. Sandridge, Hue L. (son), age 10, born June 1889, in Mississippi of parents born in Mississippi. He attended school. Sandridge, Johny R. (son), age 9, born May 1891, in Mississippi of parents born in Mississippi. He attended school. You will note that all children of this marriage as of this time have been accounted for. Evidently F.M. was born sometime after 2 June 1900. Do you have the date and/or place? I suspect that sometime after 1900 and before 1910, the family moved from Mississippi to Tennessee since they do not appear on any 1910 Mississippi U.S. Census record. You will also note the spelling of the last name. This is the spelling used by John R.'s grandfather, Stephen. It was also used by his father, Pendleton, until approximately 1870 when he dropped the "r" and it became Sandidge. Some of Pendleton's other children, including my great grandfather, had dropped the "r" much earlier. In John R.'s case, he continued to use the spellijng "Sandridge" at least through 2 June 1900.
