Bettye Heinrich, Thank you, I will keep this on file. Every little bit helps. Sometimes I go back and pull out a note that fits in, where ,at the time I received it..it didn't. My Joseph Ryan Waldrop.....might have been born in Jasper. JRW's brother Henry Low Waldrop was born in Harris County, Georgia.1832 Joseph Ryan Waldrop was born in Georgia, 1823. Green Berry traveled quite abit and once he went to Alabama and then back to Georgia....then back to Alabama on to DeSoto County, Mississippi. Heaven , only knows where my JRW traveled while running from the law. I don't know if I told you he was in a duel, stories go that it was a rightful duel, but duels were against the law and they were outlawed in the early 1850s. Rather than face the law he left DeSoto County and was on the run the rest of his life. First running from the law, second....getting married and having children and leaving them behind, moving on and even marring while still married to another. I am still researching for newspapers for the crime he committed in DeSoto County, Mississippi. I'm sorry, I didn't me to ramble. I went for so many years (around 7 or 8) not being able to find one thing about JRW..and in the last several months all his lines are showing up with matching information. I never thought I would ever have this much information on him, Not to mention his wives and children. Each line is coming up with their own stories about him and their lines. Right now he stands with 5 to 9 children. We are still working on the Physician J. R.Waldrop of Tippah County, Mississippi married to Emily Isabella Smith. 1860 census four children I found a Waldrop relative from Ezekiel Waldrop's line that had this J.R.Waldrop who was Ezekiel's nephew, listed in his line, running from the law. Thanks for your time. Anything you run across....I would be grateful to have. Let me know if I can be of help to you.
