We have also run into this, but the bmd index on rootsweb shows what you have below, I have a copy of it and it even shows her name as Bessie Platt May....married Isom on the date you have already below. The page in rootsweb on Archie May shows he married Bessie Edith Platt on Feb 13, 1915, he also remarried in 1918 to a Brazilia Crawford. Some of the family will tell you they never were married but paperwork shows otherwise...??You have what I have. Glad to help...I just recently found out that Isoms dad died in Chatahootchee Mental Hospital as indigent, I was so sad for him. Isoms mom is buried in Ortona, I have a creepy photo of her in her casket we recently got. very creepy....bye

There has been some debate in the past and I just want to verify with you that this is correct. Lee Co., FL marriage records indicate that Bessie Platt was first married to Archie May (Feb. 13, 1915) and then married Isam Dees (July 16, 1918), as indicated by the marriage record below.


MAY Bessie Platt DEES Isam, 21 16 Jul 1918 J R Doty, NP Bessie Dees


Thanks for your help.

Christopher, Sorry I haven't written in a while. I've been busy! I did speak to my grandmother last week. My grandfather, Heenan Calhoun Platt was born October 7,1906 and he died December 25,1987. My grandmother's name is Arline Fritz Platt and she was born July 15,1920. They did not have any children together. He had children from a previous marriage. Two girls. I'll try to get some info. for you on them. We're not close at all. They were always sort of jealous of my dad because my grandpa took up so much time with him. And like I said, my dad is legally a Platt.
About Johnny Platt, grandma says that Johnny's daddy is Buddy- Lewis Blackshire Platt.
This Victoria Platt you've been talkin' to. Ask her if they call her "Vee"
If it is Vee, please send me her e-mail address. I would like to e-mail her myself. If she is who I think she is, then she was married at one time to either my uncle Nathan or his son, Dickie. I'm pretty sure she was married to Dickie. You can tell her if you want, that Tara Platt Smith wants her address. Tell her that I'm married to Timmy Smith from Moore Haven, then she'll figure out who I am.
I'll write you back today or tomorrow with my family's birth dates. Ha! That's sad when you don't even know your own familys birthdays!
Write back soon! Oh, my grandmother told me to give you this phone number. This lady is my grandfather's niece and she can give you any info. on the family that you want! Her name is Welda Wolfenbarger and she lives in Moore Haven as well. Just tell her that I gave you her number. It's 863-946-0127
Hope to hear from you soon!
TARA SMITH
