I have more information... got quite a bit from a library in Waycross, GA... one of our ancestors told our family history to someone who was thoughtful enough to write it down before she died, it's in a book at the library there... some interesting tales, though not completely accurate since she was up in age when they spoke (I tried to piece it together with birth and death certificates I have and it didn't exactly match, but she was pretty close on ages and relationships and it was wonderful to see something recorded and maintained in a safe spot).
