I
was just viewing your web site and it said that you were looking for
information: Well I have some and I don't, my Mother use to live in
Porterdale,
Georgia back in the
late twenties., she was married to George Malone Campbell
and her name was Gertrude S Campbell and they had a son George Henry
Campbell. I think her Dad Burl Crowe lived with them also. Burl
Crowe was married to Bessie Henry Crowe and they had four Daughters
, Gertrude, Gladys, Eva and Pearl. I have been told that some
of them worked in the Mill at Porterdale. My Aunt Pearl told my
Nephew David Campbell that Burl Crowe had loaded up the family in
1929 and headed for Central, South Carolina in a 1929 Model A Ford
Truck. I have never seen my Grandfather Burl Crowe , not even a
picture of him. I'm sure that he and all his Daughters are deceased
by now, My Mother Gertrude S Evatt died in 2001 at 93 years old, I
know that my Aunt Pearl is Deceased, I never have seen my two other
Aunts, I heard that Gladys moved to Florida and Eva move to
Michigan. Our family was never close and I really never knew very
few of my relatives. me
and my Daughter Teresa who lives in Biloxi, Miss. are trying
to put together a Family Ancestry
and try to find out a little more about my Mothers Family.
You
may not be able to help me on this matter, but I would really
appreciate it if you are able to help My Mother was born May 10,1908
in Newnan, Georgia by the name of Gertrude Sarah Crowe, She
had a son George Henry Campbell born in Porterdale, Georgia on the
14th of
May 1923. George is also Deceased, he left five fine boys and
a wife in Greenville, South Carolina. This has always been a
real good Family in my opinion and I Cannot figure out why the
Family were so distant to one another.
I
left in June 1956 to go in the US Air Force and I was away from
everyone, I was stationed in Great Falls, Montana for five years and
back then that was a long way from
home, I remember the first time I came home on leave driving a
vehicle, it took me five days and five nights
to get home, back then there were no Interstates to help speed up,
it was a long trip. I am now Retired from The US Air Force and live
in Warner Robins, Georgia. I've been here since 1968 when I came
back from Vietnam.
Thanks again for reading this message and I have
Faith that you will be able to help me a little bit.
Have a nice day and Godspeed
