I have a Joseph Waldrop, but in Illinois, could be a cousin, nephew or uncle. No Texas, sorry. Mary "Sandra W.

Hi Mary, To tell you the truth, that scalawag was all over the place, wouldn't surprise me if he was in Illinois, too. Joseph Ryan Waldrop Born in Georgia 1823-1825 He married: Nancy Heard, Sarah Cathrine Alexander, Victoria K. Thomas (while still married to Sarah). Then in 1866 he met my great grandmother and in 1867 he married her in Washington County, Alabama. He was a Physician, Minister, KKK, State Rep. of Washington County. Justice of the Peace. Does anything ring a bell.....With his life style, he could be just anyone's grandpapa. Oh, yes he was running from a duel in Mississippi in the early to mid 1850s. It was called a rightful duel, but by then duels were outlawed in Mississippi. So, he didn't hang around. He was on the move . He mentions in a copy of a letter I have written by him, South Carolina, La, I have found him in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas, also Texas. Thanks for reply.
