Notes:
Thanks so much, Gene. My dad was so proud of his Virginia heritage. He always told my mom that Georgia was settled by debtors' prison inmates. In my research ,I found my mom's close ancestors were from
Virginia. I guess they came south looking for cheap land through a lottery. My great grandfather who served in the Civil War was an overseer on someone else's plantation north of Macon. So maybe my dad was right. All of this is so interesting! Why didn't they tell us more? Again, thank you for such a fantastic website. Bonnie

Died: August 27, 1976 in Macon, Ga. of Emphysema. Notes: A. B. J. Jr. served in the United States Navy in World War 11.

He was a Manufacturer's Representative (salesman), showing samples from manufacturers in New York to retailers across the South East. He married Lucille Adams of Taylor County, Ga. (don't have the date) and they had one daughter, Bonnie Sue. Lucille's parents were Cora Davis of Taylor County and John Quincy Adams of Macon County. Notes: Lucille's paternal grandmother was Emma Rumph, a part of the Rumph family famous for producing a new variety of peach at their Willow Lake plantation in Macon County, Ga.
