The page shown above is from the handwritten document dated 1984, updated 1986 and 1988. Great research without the benefit of internet access. Sources were family records, bibles and interviews. Also Census and Federal War and Pension records.
Thanks to L. B. (Gates) Greenall (1904-2002), family historian. One of my inspiring relatives.
