Boy am I glad to hear this. "From Census Record-Marions parents were born in North Carolina- " 1930 Census has his name as Marias D Briggs with a birth date of 1876 in NC and no addresses for his parents. 1920 Census has his name as Marian B Briggs Born abt 1877 and Parents Birth-NC 1910 Census has his name as M. Boiley Briggs with a birth abt 1888 in Tenn and Parents birth in Tenn. I know this is Marion Briggs because his wife is Della (They spelled-Dlla) and Ethel and Bertha are his children. "Dellas were born in Tennessee" 1930 Census has her name as Dillie Briggs instead of Della, which is correct. It shows her birth abt 1882 and no state is identified. 1920 Census shows her birth abt. 1887 in Tenn and Parents-Father in Tenn and Mother in NC. 1910 census shows her birth abt. 1888 in Tenn and both parents birth in Tenn. I believe the 1900 Census shows her under her maiden name of Della Wilson, birth 1887 with her 1900 home as Civil District 8, Scott, Tenn. I am trying to absolutely confirm this is her. "WWI draft card and noticed that there was another Briggs living in the same WV district" You may be right-I cannot confirm if he had any brothers or sisters. "Consider me in the future for record lookups and research help for the East Tennessee area" No problem-I am constantly searching for others and myself in WVA, Tenn and NC and I can refer them to you. Thanks for your help and time. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
