Hi, my mother is the daughter of Lillian Cumbee Graves who had a twin brother (can't remember his name offhand) and her sisters name was Lula Cumbee who married Eugene Johnson and they had a son named Nathaniel. It seems as if Nathaniel has visited my mother in her dreams because she says he came to see her but my sister says he is deceased. My mother is 80 years old and talks all the time about wishing she knew more of her family. If someone out there knows anything on Lillian Cumbee, please let me know. She married Benjamin Franklin Graves and they moved around a little bit from what I've been told. Also, they had three children, Carl, Clarence and Mildred (who is my mother). Please if you have any information, contact me. I am trying to give my mother every opportunity to meet as many family members as she can.

Can you give more information... where and when was she born? My g-g-grandmother, Louella Cumbie, had a sister named Lilla... I wonder, seeing how close the names Lula/Lillian and Louella/Lilla are, if there is a relationship. There's no twin brother for my Lilla, so I doubt it's the same two girls, but maybe a close relation?
Here's what I have of those two sisters, the two youngest of MANY children of Andrew Cumbie.

Children of Andrew CUMBIE and Susan _______ are:

+ 37 vii. Louella Damsel CUMBIE, born 21 Nov 1869 in Camilla, Mitchell, GA, USA; died 30 Oct 1936 in Quincy, Gadston, FL, USA.
38 viii. Lilla Donie CUMBIE209,210, born 21 Mar 1874 in Camilla, Mitchell, GA, USA211,212.

Eugene and Lula were my great grandparents.
My grandmother told me a story about Nathaniel (she called him N.L.) being shot. I believe she said he was in his early 20's. This is the first post I have come across regarding the Cumbee/Johnson family and would love very much to talk to you. My dad and uncles do not know alot about their family so it has been very difficult to get information. Please call me I would love to share what information I do have and possibly learn more as well. My number is 434-531-0391
