Lessie Mae Britt is my great-grandmother. (1897-1968.) On her death certificate, her parents are listed as Nelie Floyd (1878-1951; maiden name Britt; daughter of Isham Britt and Penelope Ivey) and Joseph Britt.
Joseph is a brick wall for me. Other than Lessie's death certificate, I can find no other records that link Lessie to her father. Since there were a few Joseph Britt's in the area at the time of Lessie's birth (I haven't found a birth certificate/record for Lessie; neither have I found a marriage record for Nelie and Joseph, so I assume they weren't married), I have no way of knowing which Joseph Britt was the father of Lessie.
If anyone can tell me which Joseph Britt was Lessie's father, I'd greatly appreciate it.
