Family of Lee J Waldrep

The following was e-mailed to PCFA.ORG on December 24, 1996 from Aurale Huff leehuff@connecti.com


This is the descendancy from one Luke Waldrep, whose progeny came through Georgia, then to Arkansas when the area early opened to migrants. My Gr-grandfather Lee J Waldrep was in Georgia on the 1850 census at one year old with a sister 2 months old. The remainder of the family was born in Arkansas, and lived near Waldo. The Waldrep cemetery is my family's burial place; and Amos Goree, buried there, has only recently been identified for parents and ancestry!

Meanwhile, that Lee J Waldrep married Susan Victoria Henry in NEVADA COUNTY in April 1882 (have copy of the marriage bond) and just recently located her father, John and mother Francesca (no surname for her yet). These folks are my mother's mother's family.
