Raymond Wright Barton and Amanda Lou Ellen my Grandparents
I had a question about the Barton name, to the best of my knowledge he lived in Virginia
Amanda Lou Ellen Brookshire Barton died on Oct 7, 1919 of Milk Leg. (that was another question). She is buried at Walnut Fork Baptist Church In Brazelton, Ga. Dixie and Elizabeth are nearby. Her grave marker is Amanda Lou Ellen Brookshire. Shortly after her death my grandfather abandoned them and Evelyn cared for my mother and her sisters, and raised them as her own. Aunt Evie bought the grave stone and refused to put Barton on the stone.
MILK LEG (Old time disease)
Phlebitis; a painful swelling of the leg soon after childbirth, due to thrombosis of the large veins; Painful swelling of the leg beginning at the ankle and ascending or at the groin and extending down the thigh... its usual cause is infection after labor; Post partum thrombophlebitis.

That had to be a lot of work, digging up all these roots!
My mom suffered with phlebitis, 6 kids in 7 years may have played a role!
Hope you are having a good day!

Buongiorno!!!
The roots are very important, especially when we are old.
We can see the errors of our grandparents, and hope we do not repeat them!
Very often women are the strongest element of the family!
Have a great sunday!!!
Sarge -
My family is blessed in that, in the early 1900's, one of my ancestors made the decision to gather all the old family records together. The result is a geneaology that goes back to the arrival of Edward in the then Colonies in 1629 on thje good sip Hopewell, along with two of his sons.
It is pretty much a given that anyone with my last name is almost certainly related - the question is how far removed we cousins are.
Congrats on knowing your history.

I don't know that much about my great parents! You make me want to go grill my parents! hahahaha!
Milk legs sounds like a terrible way to die. Thank goodness that modern medicine has made it a thing of the past.
Big hugs xo
I knew what that milk leg is. My mother had it after the birth of her first born and was in bed for about 6 weeks.
Yes, our family history is very important. I have tons recorded for BOTH of our lines. It is a lot of work, but so worth it.
Big hugs, honey...
