In Search of Jerry Warren

Update: Jerry Warren was found in the 1940 Census.  When and where did he die?

I am trying to find out what happened to Jerry Warren after 1936.  His wife, Lizzie Royal died that year.  I have not been able to find anything on him since then.

This is what I have been told from various relatives and people

Cousin Mary Rose said that Jerry and Lizzie lived behind Point Level Church.  She stated that he had a long grapevine. 

Cat Newton remembers him as always having a wad of tobacco in his bottom lip.

Aunt Daisy referred to him as "old man" Jerry Warren.

His name has been found in Western Assembly Minutes.

His name is on the death certificates of his daughters: Katie, Pauline, and  Ada, but the mother was recorded as Katie King.

If you have any information on Jerry Warren, please let me know by e-mailing me at lmowens@nc.rr.com.

Thank you in advance.

Esther Robinson

I am researching Esther Robinson. She married Essex Mathews born 1829 and Esther Robinson was born between 1820-1830, both in NC. The family lives in Magnolia during the 1870 and 1880 Census, Magnolia, NC their surname was Mathis. By the 1900 Census their surname was changed to Mathews and 1910 it finally changed to Matthis. In the 1900's they were living in Rose Hill, NC. They had a total of 16 children. I am looking for parents and siblings of Esther Robinson Mathews.

If you have any information on Esther Robinson please e-mail Alice West-Ferguson at ally3729@aol.com

Johnnie Hayes Royal

Update:  I finally found the death record of Johnnie Hayes Royal.  As a bonus, I found a marriage record of his second wife.  Unfortunately, he died before 1940.

What happened to Gabriel Royal's son Johnnie Hayes after 1925?  He was recorded in deeds with his a wife name Sarah Jane.

His first wife Roena Evans died in November 1918 as did a young son named Oscar. Both were casualties of the Pandemic Flu of 1918. His sister Rebecca and her son died in October 1918.  They all had influenza.
