To Elsie, John Marion SANDRIDGE did have children; they are William Porter, Minnie, Arthur Raymond, Walter Marion, Edgar S., Homer Boyd, and Charles Bentley. I do not know who Martha Artena Thomas SANDIDGE/SANDRIDGE was. I am wondering if John Marion had any brothers or sisters. He is on the 1850 census with his parents William and Elizabeth SANDRIDGE and his half brother Wesley in Madison Co Alabama. His father dies in 1858. Does anyone know if more children were born to this family in those eight years, siblings of John Marion SANDRIDGE? Thanks, Debbie
