Look Who I found Today!

Image
Pearl Gibson 1890 - 1st Great, Grand Aunt of my husband I found Pearl while looking for Dennis Dottin. Dennis is our cousin on my husband's family' paternal side. Dennis Dottin is the relative of Mrs. Annie Sullivan (Webb) Who married Arthur Webb (1st great grand uncle of my husband. While looking for him, I of course went back to the original connection Arthur Webb and sadly upon finding out that all 3 of his children had passed very early. As the informant on the death certificates it was discovered that their mother was a Mrs. Pearly Gibson Webb married to Arthur Webb on 19 Jan 1908 in Crawford County, Georgia.
Good nite Family!!!

Being that my paternal side is Jones/Smith, I have found I could literally be related to any and everyone. At first I was under the impression that he died in Athens. My Paternal side (My lovely and sweet aunts) remembers his children fondly and vividly and they knew His name and his living situation. Side step: This situation is different because our grandfather ran away and lived in a shed at the age of 13 after disagreements with his treatment by his stepmother. His mother was by some accounts deceased when he was a young child. (Although, I have theories on that I will share later)Therefore, as you can imagine the relationship had its challenges. Back on track.. During my routine search of death records I found...
