Re: Obituary of Elder J. M. Dickerson had a daughter, Mattie Quesinberry, wife of Deacon Heath Quesinberry-------could anyone that has Quesin(en)berry in your data base help me here.  The name Deacon could come from his position in the church, which I have known to be true, and he could have another first name.   I found in Ancestry.com a Robert Heath Quesenberry B. 28 Mar 1889 D. 1986 married on 9Sep 1914 to a Mattie Dickerson B. 21 Sep 1891 D. 17 jul 1983. Mattie's birthdate is just 3 mos. before her mother died 26 Dec 1891.  This Robert Heath Q.'s father is Daniel F. Quesenberry.    I need more documentation to go with this info.   Thanks Opaldeen   --- On Thu, 6/18/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [VAFLOYD] James "J.M."
