Ida May White Creech   -- I know Ida Creech remarried after her husband William Creech died in 1931.  I believe she married J. T. Ward.  I would think they married in Covington or around Covington County.  I have looked in Covington and surrounding area and found nothing.  Ida was born in 1880 and died in 1948. On her death certificate in 1948--it states she was a widow and her husband name was J. T. Ward.  Thanks for any help.  Penny  pbc813@aol.com

Hi, we would like to correspond with the descendant’s of Bryant and George JACKSON in hopes of resolving afamily brick wall.  We believe Bryant and George maybe
siblings to our great-great-great-grandmother Nancy JACKSON.  During the 1880 Covington County census,these families lived near each other, shared the same
surname, and were mulatto. 
The 1880 census for Covington County, Alabama also
notes that Bryant and George Jackson were born in Florida circa 1830 and 1835, respectively.  Bryant and George had large families.  We believe many of their descendants relocated to Northwest
Florida, Mississippi and Richland County, Ohio after the 1900 census.
If anyone has any information that might expand in any
way about this particular branch of our Jackson
family, we would greatly appreciate your help!

The following are the descendant’s of Bryant and George, we Suspect some of their children’s children may still believing and in their late 80’s and late 90’s.
