I don't have much at all on Joab except his children with Omega Spurling... and his two boys with Hannah Hammonds... never have been able to find the "Newman Gary" tie in part of name... But I did find Samuel and Mary Waldrope in the 1850 Henderson Co., NC census with their son Anderson... the only child I knew that was brother of Joab Waldrop... I have a lot of information I've assumed to be correct, now I'm in the proving mode... And I'm at a dead end with my Hammonds' line.... Figure if I can find my Waldrops, will find my Hammonds. Becky
