Deby, I hope you can help me. My cousin was a Justice and she knows nothing about her family. This is what I know about them... Her father was John Justice born about 1910 I don't know if it was Wv or Ky. he was an illegitimate child. His mother was a Justice but I don't know her name, he was raised by her and his grandparents. his real father was Lorenzo Dow May. Lorenzo was a married man with several children, he never denied John as being his son but we cannot find out anything about his Justice family. If you have any information that could help me please let me know.

Sorry, I don't have anything to help. I really don't have a lot of Justice info and what I do have is just a series of leads and tertiary research from others. The name "Lorenzo Dow" shows up a lot in the Ball family but I can't tell you if it's a common name in general or more specific to the Balls. But, maybe that info will help a bit?
