I have recentlly found some missing links in my marshall of Stokes co search.
My grandfather Carl Jones Marshall was born in Stokes Co. in 1909, died in Suffolk Va in 1966
His father is William Wortz Marshall born in Stokes Co in 1889 & died in Suffolk VA in 1945. According to his obt. his parents were William Dewitt and Florence James Marshall of Stokes Co. I saw in your website there was a Willis Dewitt and Etta Florence James Marshall could they be my g-g grandparents?
any help would be most appreciated
Thanks

Hi, my name is Karen Gerry Thomhave. My grandmother was Onie Pearl Marshall. I am thrilled to find a part of my heritage!!! Her parents were Willis Dewitt Marshall and Etta Florence James. Her husband was William Preston Gerry. I have always been told that Onie was born on May 4th, 1900. My father was William Macadoo Gerry (1918-1963) I barely know anything of my heritage due to my Dad's sudden, untimely death. We have only had brief and sporadic encounters with my relatives in Winston Salem. They are wonderful and I enjoyed their company, although only twice in my adult life. Lately I had been trying to find info on the internet. Seems as though I was getting a little push... I started to become so frustrated searching the Gerry line and today I finally decided the Marshall line may hold some promise as the name appeared often in the Moravian search I had found. I even sent out a prayerful plea to my ancestors to help me. Within 2 minutes I found your web-site! I was going to stop looking at all those names and go have a coffee, but decided to scroll a little more and EUREKA!!!! There they were! Thank you, thank you for this invaluable information. What an amazing person you must be to have researched all this. I just want to thank you for giving me and my entire family something to grasp and even hold onto after all these years of wondering. Can't wait to tell my husband and daughter,my mom and 5 siblings. I have bits of info but not much. My Aunt Sandy is the only surviving child of Onie and William. I hope you will contact me. I can't wait to get started reading everything you have on your web page. I am so happy! God Bless you and all you do. Karen :)

Gosh, I'm sorry you changed the name before I had the chance to tell you. Hope it wasn't too much of a hassle. Sorry about that. I did not know that Thine married a Gerrey as well. My Aunt Sandy told me that one of the Gerrey sons drowned but she did not know which one. She is 20 years younger than my Dad and did not spend alot of time with him as he was in the service. My Aunt Mozelle died about 10 years or so ago, shortly after I finally met her. I will never forget those blue eyes melding into mine. For the first time I saw where mine came from and could imagine what my Dad looked like face to face. She married Lester Lewis who also died about 2 or more years ago. Not sure exactly. Their son Jerry Lewis and I believe the other is Joseph(never met him) are still living in Winston Salem. Jerry is a wonderful guy and he had a lovely wife Janet but she died last year. They had 1 son Michael who is married now and lives in PA. My other Uncle Lester(Gerrey) went by Nick. He died a while ago too. His wife Gladys moved to Newport News with her son Ronny Gerrey and his wife Sydney after that. I do not know if Gladys is alive or not. I pretty much just get tidbits of info through my Mom when she gets a card from Sandy or now and then when I hear from Sandy. I thought my Aunt Florence died way before 1996 though. It is getting late, so I will write with all my siblings names and dates later. Three boys, three girls and also my childrens names and dates. Is there any other type of info you are needing? Please let me know. Do you know what country(ies) the lineage started from? Well, Friday the 13th held a little magic after all! I will never forget this day. It is great to be connecting with you. I'm really sorry about the name spelling thing. Have a great weekend! Karen:)
