I am researching James Franklin and Sarah Ann Dodson Yerby and their descendants in Leon and Freestone counties in TX. They were in Fayette Co., AL before going to Leon Co. TX about 1870. Their children were: Joel m. Mattie Jones, Willie Jefferson m. Essie Orlenia Jones, John William m. (1) Saphrona Williamson (2) Mary Katherine Taggart, Martha Eveline m. Benjamin F. Pounds, Franklin Monroe m. (1) Nancy Ann Simmonds (2) Julia Gordon, Thomas Lee m. Lucy Ann Yarbrough and Frances "Fannie" m. George R. Martin. I would be very grateful if any of their descendants would contact me. I have lots of Yerby family info. Glad to share. Hildred Carlson
