Barb; I was told by my cousin, Nannie MERIDETH Johnson, w/o Albert JOHNSON, that her DAD was a preacher and they lived on Queens Creek near Prichard Wayne WV. She had a sister, Ida ?? who lived in a nursing home in 1989+. Nannie died about 4 years ago in Louisa KY. Her sister had died before. Nan was 95+. Nan and Albert lived at Prichard in my Grandfathers house. I never knew Albert, my Grandfather or my DAD. I have a family picture somewhere at a reunion at Albert's house/ Dallas JOHNSON ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara Howard <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 9:49 AM Subject: Albert Dillard Meredith > looking for additions, corrections or connections: > Barb in GA > > > Descendants of Albert Dillard Meredith > > Generation No. 1 > > 1.
