Found at least two important facts: 1) John Norman did not have a middle initial. The application says if you do not have a middle initial to draw a line - there was a line 2) the name of his mother was Alice Johnson. The application was filled out on 8 Jul 1942. His address was Route 4, Box 246, Athen, Texas. He was 57 years of age and his birthday was 8 Mar 1885 born in Columbia (rural area), Murray, Tennessee. He stated that he was "unemployed." Of course, he did state that his father was Sam Norman. His SS# is 453-30-5217.

My GGG Grandmother was Elizabeth Reagan also spelled Regon Ragan Ragon etc. She was born in 1812 in NC info from census. The family may have moved to Tennessee prior to moving to Texas. John Reagon 1860 Trinity County Census father of Samuel Whitfield Reagan shows to be from Tennessee. Isaac Laymance her husband was from Tennessee. Family stories say her father was named Jacob but there is nothing to substantiate this and her husband's middle initial was J. Elizabeth and Isaac J Laymance moved to Henderson County. I am not able to locate her parents or any other information on her any property or probate records for them were lost in the courthouse fire. I would appreciate any information including descendants on her. Thanks Bill Lewis Bill or Jo Ann Lewis Bookwizards 1857 Provine St. Fort Worth, Tx 76103 staff@bookwizards.com
