Becky, I am puzzled by your statement that "maybe you will have some luck with your Waldrops, etc etc. I believe that you and I are both descended from Samuel Newman Gary Waldrop. You from him and his first wife, Mary Capps, and I am from his 2nd wife, Anna Melita Griffitts. There is so much information available on Joab Waldrop who m. Hannah Elizabeth Hammonds. He being a son of the above Samuel and Mary. What is it that you are seeking on your Waldrop ancestry? Regards, Bettye --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
