WILLIAMS/GRIGSBY

J. D. Williams  (View posts) Posted: 18 May 1999 12:00PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: JOHN WILLIAMS, HENRY WILLIAMS
LAUDERDALE COUNTY:
I am looking for information on "John Williams" born in Ripley, Lauderdale County, Tennessee about 1873. His father was Henry Williams born about 1846 in Mississippi.

John Williams married Lovenia ( Lula or Lou) Grigsby, Jan 3, 1906 in Lauderdale County, Tennessee.

Children of John and Lovenia were: Richard Porter Williams born March 22, 1907, and J. L. (initials only) Williams born April 11, 1909 in Lauderdale County, Tennessee.

Henry Williams married Ella B. Moore September 2, 1874.

I think Henry was also previously married to a SUSAN but I do not have a surname for Susan.



Any information on this family will be greatly Appreciated

J. D. Williams

Lovenia was one of eight children born to Richard and Martha Grigsby. Lula 3-2-1886-10-26-1959 was a farm laborer who married John 1-3-1906 and later married Jesse Will Jackson in 1-7-1920. I believe her brother John Grigsby was my grandfather.

In other words, Philip and Virginia got a divorce.

Philip then married for a second time. (TO WHOM, and WHEN?)

Who were the two boys, that Virginia and Haslip had? WHEN AND WHERE did Virginia and Mr. Haslip marry?

Thank you for the corrections. I do appreciate them.

Forgive me, today is the anniversary of my husband's death, and I am not thinking as clearly as I should be.

I re-read what I wrote you, and it was not correct.

I am sorry, I do not mean to mix you up.

You have my sympathy concerning the loss of your husband.
Phillip Ray Rushing married (1) Thelma LaVerne Floyd and they had Phyllis Jean Rushing. They later divorced and he married(2)Virginia Pike who already had a daughter, Ann Grigsby.
Laverne married (2) Thomas C. Haislip and they had sons David and Stanley.
Phyllis and I were good friends in both elementary and high school.
Are you related to Gregory and Ramonia?

Yes, Ramonia and Gregory are my late husband's half-siblings.

Rae(Ramonia) is a speciality nurse and teacher, and is living in Messa, AZ; Gregory is a horse trainer and owner, and lives in a little town near Riodosa, NM.

They were the children of the second marriage of my husband's father.

The first marriage produced:
Robert (married to Martha, and living in Ripley);
Don (married to Mary, and living in Knoxville);
my late husband, Raymond Larry;
David (married to Kathy), and living in Williamson, SC;
Thelma (Tilly) (married to Inky Perry, and living in Nankipoo.)

Thank you for asking.
