Who was the wife of George "All" Sizemore?

Question

As this profile currently stands (and admittedly, it's a mess), George is attached to four spouse profiles, at least one of which is a duplicate. The narrative makes reference to only one spouse, unfortunately without a solid source.

Before we start merging, we need help determining a solid source for the identity of George's wife. Your help is appreciated.

NOTE: there are several other problems with this profile. This g2g thread is focused solely on identifying the wife of George.

Thank you.

Jillaine, sorry to start this out off topic, but I'm completely unqualified to be of any use on-topic.  I was interested enough to look at the profile, though, and saw something I could do, so I put in the requested "usable link" directly to the gravestone photo.  I couldn't put the other direct photo link requested because there is no photo there that I could find.  Now I promise to get out of your way and only look with admiration at all the answers.

Thanks, Gaile. It's not fully off topic. Going to the F-a-G link, I see a couple of things

1. The family erected a more modern gravestone; the one including George and Agnes' names is clearly NOT contemporaneous to the time of their deaths.
2. The F-a-G profile for the second wife Ann Elizabeth Hart does not include a photo of a stone (as I think you were referencing) and appears to be the "source" for the text on her wikitree profile. 

So, we're no closer to an answer to my original question, but we are starting to identify where some of the data on these profiles is coming from. 

---

The other request for a photo link I referenced is for one of George at some geni site (on the profile, immediately below the link I did add) - there are no photos there, though.

If you're looking for sources of the all the wild data (rather than valid sources for real facts) this Find a Grave profile for wife Agnes is very illuminating.  It could be a blockbuster movie plot - what with multiple kidnappings and recoveries, and culminating in the marriage of George and Agnes, both Indians (sic) raised by White families.  It even explains the 2 different LNABs for Agnes.

UPDATE: George "All" Sizemore somehow got merged into Edward "Ned" Sizemore. (Notice the link on this g2g now reads Edward, not George.)

I believe that was a mistake.

Hopefully, we are working with someone very familiar with Sizemore research who can help us tease apart the mushed up mess we've somehow made.

---

Update: Since the narrative of the profile is about George, I have changed the name fields to be about George.

We will need to create a new profile for Edward / Ned (if one hasn't been created already).

Answer 1

I am not certain that the person described in this profile even existed.  There is a Kentucky death record for someone named Edward Sizemore, born in 1778, who died in Perry, Kentucky in 1856.  Parents are listed as George and Aggie Sizemore, so there apparently was a real couple by this name.  (Record digitized at Ancestry)

There were over 2000 people who claimed to be Cherokee Sizemore descendants in 1907, but none said anything about "George All Sizemore."  They said they were descendants of Ned/Edward, Joseph, and John "Johnny Gourd" Sizemore (listed on one census as occupation "Witch Doctor"), all sons of a man believed to be named John Sizemore from Halifax County, Virginia. (There is a John Sizemore listed in Halifax, Virginia in 1782.)  These men all moved to the area of North Carolina between Asheville and the Virginia border, settling mostly in Stokes, Surry, Alleghany, Yadkin Counties.  They and their descendants are easily found on census and land records some as early as 1790.  Some of their descendants moved back into Virginia, into Washington County, and what became McDowell and Wyoming Counties in West Virginia.  

There is a George Sizemore on the 1790 census in Stokes County.  He may have been yet another brother who moved west into Kentucky.  George is a common name among the descendants of John, Joseph, and Ned.

I think we should use the attached profile to represent George of "George and Aggie" who appeared as parents in the 1856 Kentucky death record of Edward Sizemore.

Kathie, maybe I am mis-reading your comment about the 1907 claims, but I interpreted it to mean that none mention a George Sizemore as an ancestor. 

But in an answer below, Cindy H indicates that numerous applications mention a George Sizemore; I paste below what she wrote:

"As far as George Sizemore husband of Annie Hart. There are multiple Eastern Cherokee applications Annie Cook Bailey (10488), Jane Clifton (15166) Nellie C Jewell (17451), Elizabeth Rose (12452), Nancy Catherine Scites (13637), Calvin Sizemore (9089), John Sizemore (9086), Owen Sizemore (34423), Z T Sizemore (12455) are just a few of the individuals who claim George Sizemore's wife was Annie Hart."

Did I misunderstand your comment? 

EDITED TO ADD: Oh wait, Cynthia then goes on to say "This group tend to erroneously call George Sizemore Edward ".  Mmm. So the specific applications Cynthia mentions above use the name Edward, not George. Okay...

Kathie,

You are talking about different families. To have a better understanding people have to pay attention to what was happening when. John Sizemore who was of Halifax County, Virginia and had several children all of which are identified because they received an undivided interest of their father "John" several of these children moved to Stokes. One son William Sizemore was identified as living in Trigg County, Kentucky in the record I have seen indicates he had an undivided 1/6. This tells me there was basically six heirs of John. or at least six living at the time of his death. These six were the above mentioned William Sizemore, Joseph Sizemore, John Sizemore, Mary. Sizemore, Daniel Sizemore and Solomon Sizemore. Most of these went to Stokes, NC with the exception of Joseph Sizemore seems to have stayed in Halifax. There was a Hiram Sizemore but he died around the War of 1812, John also had a son named George Sizemore this George Sizemore was the one located in Stokes Co. North Carolina he was married to an Elizabeth (Calicutt) and he died about 1809. After George's death his widow moved to Trigg County, Kentucky and remarried. I honestly don't remember the name of the man she married. John's son Daniel Sizemore moved to Mecklenburg County, VA

There is a John Sizemore who was a Rev. he was the son of Edward B. Sizemore and his wife Anna (Baldwin). As far as Alleganey. Some of the Sizemore's lived in area that did become Alleganey. But this change did not take place until 1859 which was circa 35 years after George Sizemore (the father) is identified as deceased. 32 years after Edward B. Sizemore, (son) moved from the area, and abt 22 years after George J. Sizemore (son) moved to Logan Virginia which later became Wyoming Virginia, and Owen  Sizemore (son) left Ashe county before 1870 as at that time he and his wife were living in Clay Virginia (WV). It is noted in 1860 he was living in Ashe County.

Personally, I think the BIG problem with the Sizemores is individuals not understanding naming patterns, individuals not realizing the cluster that happens combine same named individuals. Creating a huge mess. The best way to tell them apart is their naming patterns, the migration patterns, their family, friends and neighbors.

Jillian,

You indicated above that I states. EDITED TO ADD: Oh wait, Cynthia then goes on to say "This group tend to erroneously call George Sizemore Edward ".  Mmm. So the specific applications Cynthia mentions above use the name Edward, not George. Okay... 

You forgot to add a very important part of the statement I made ...Some of this particular George Sizemore's grandchildren Children who descend from his son Owen Sizemore's son being Hiram Sizemore.  This group tend to erroneously call George Sizemore Edward or This group also makes the statement of his wife being Elizabeth Jackson...

My reference to the actual group of Sizemores or family was me setting out who I found to actually make the statement in 1906/1907 in their ECA's. I further went on to say which ECA's they were. These ECA's are available online on Fold3 

but here are some others

Dora Carnes ECA 8156 on page 6 item 21, Dora states "It is claimed by some that Ned is a nick name for George Edward"

Harvey Lewis Sizemore ECA 9589 on page 6 item 21 Harvey states "paternal grandparents Hiram sizemore and Jane Sizemore Great Grandparents Owen and Rebecca Sizemore  Great Great grandparents George Edward propper and Elizabeth Sizemore maiden name Jackson"

Hiram Sizemore ECA 9590 on page 6 line 21 "paternal grandparents Hiram and Jane Sizemore Great Grandparents Owen and Rebecca Sizemore  Great Great grandparents Ned or George Edward propper and Elizabeth Sizemore maiden name Elizabeth Jackson. Cherokee Indian maiden"

Esther Smith ECA 12052on pg 4 line 7, Esther states "Hiram Sizemore was my father and Owen Sizemore was his father and Owen Sizemore was the son of Edward Sizemore and I'm informed his wife was Elizabeth Jackson her maiden name"

Out of the hundreds if not thousands of ECA's that I have personally viewed along with hundreds of land deeds, taxes, etc the only time I see the reference of George Edward together is from descendants of Hiram Sizemore. This Hiram Sizemore was the son of Owen Sizemore and his wife Rebecca Anderson. Owen Sizemore was the son of George Sizemore and his wife Annie Elizabeth Hart.

When I indicated erroneously stated. I don't believe they did it maliciously, I believe the information originally came from Elisha Blevins who was in his mid 90s when making many of his affidavits in 1888, 1894, and 1896. I also believe there was information shared by older relatives that was combined in the 1906/07 statements. I believe this because I have copied many of the depositions and affidavits provided in 1888, 1894 and 1896 mentioned by William H. Blevins in his deposition of 1908. It is in this same Deposition we see that he was actually identifying who was known as George, calling him Edward.

The big problem happened when the people of Ashe, Wilkes, Alleghaney, North Carolina all knew an Edward Sizemore but in reality, he was Edward B. Sizemore.

Granted these are just my thoughts but there is enough documentation to keep individuals separated.

Thank you, Cindy. I appreciate your patience as I try to sort out all these details so we can pull apart the knotted mess that is the currently attached profile. If I understand correctly, we have two different George's (I realize there might be more, but right now I'm focused on these two):

1. George Sizemore [he given by descendants the middle name "All"?] who married Agnes/Aggie, NOT of Ashe, NC; may have been of Clay Co., KY; no evidence yet of his origins?; George and Agnes had at least:

• Winnie who m. Begley and died in Perry, Kentucky 20 Sep 1855, age 81 (b 1774); can you make out what's written in her place of birth (on the death record)?
• Edward Sizemore, d Perry, Kentucky, 27 Nov 1855 [another record of Perry deaths says 1856], age 77 (b 1778). I think the marital status column says widowed.

2. George Sizemore m. Annie Hart [erroneously called Elizabeth Jackson in apps?]. This is the couple of Ashe, NC; This George may have been brother to Owen and Edward who went to Hawkins, TN; these three brothers are theorized to be sons of the Edward/Ned Sizemore executed by Benjamin Cleveland [in Virginia, yes?]; George and Annie had (at least):

• Owen Sizemore; supposedly married Rebecca Anderson; their son Hiram was the progenitor of many (most?) of the 1906 applicants.
• [edited to add:] Ned/Edward B. Sizemore, Married Annie Bolden

Am I getting this correctly ?

Kentucky George and his descendants should be treated as an unrelated family.  There are no known records to connect him to the Virginia/North Carolina/West Virginia Sizemores.  His descendants didn’t claim to be Cherokee/Native American (that’s part of the conflation).  I think it’s possible to create a reasonably accurate listing of the descendants of Ned Sizemore (1770-1856) and we have the death info for two of Kentucky George’s children so maybe start there?

---

I believe the George Sizemore in Kentuckys descendants do claim Cherokee. But very few refer to George Sizemore 
There is a deposition from Almarine Dezarn. 
In her deposition dated 23 October 1893 she states “I was well acquainted with John Sizemore, Bill Sizemore and James Sizemore and they were always known to be Cherokee Indians by blood. I was acquainted with old Billy Begley also with his wife she was a Sizemore the grandfather and grandmother of Phillip Marcums wife”

I note there is no mention of George or Edward Sizemore in this deposition.

The above mentioned deposition can be located at Family Search under microfilm 007154105 image 211 of 2068

There are several depositions from this line of Sizemore’s claiming Cherokee one by James Sizemore who is stated as 75 years old as of the 23 October 1893. James states     “Winney Bagley was a sister of old John Sizemore “my father” and I know they were Cherokee Indian by blood”

James Sizemore’s deposition can be located under the same microfilm number mentioned above image 210 of 2068
Once again no mention of George or Edward Sizemore. 

There is a deposition of John Sizemore who was listed as 67 years old on 24 October 1893
John states “ my father Edward Sizemore was a brother to old Winney Bagley” 

John’s deposition can be located on the same microfilm listed above image 212 of 2068

There are more but this should help show the a connection between the individuals mentioned and the Kentucky group.
Still there was no mention of these older Sizemores father being George. 
We do see this on Edward Sizemore and Winney Bagley’s Clay County Clerk of court recorded death information. 

They’re a major problem for place of birth for Edward Sizemore of Kentucky some people try to make him fit the North Carolina group. Yet his death record indicates Shanandoah Virginia. His sister Winney’s death record indicates her birth was Northern Virginia. To me this is way different than Halifax, Virginia which would have been Southern, Virginia.

If the information on the death records are correct then information on this group of Sizemores needs to be reconsidered.

Jillian 

In your post you asked some questions and I’m reposting here so I can answer in bold

1. George Sizemore [he given by descendants the middle name "All"?] who married Agnes/Aggie, NOT of Ashe, NC; may have been of Clay Co., KY; no evidence yet of his origins?; George and Agnes had at least:

• Winnie who m. Bayley [Begley] and died in Perry, Kentucky 20 Sep 1855, age 81 (b 1774); can you make out what's written in her place of birth (on the death record)? [North Virginia]
• Edward Sizemore, d Perry, Kentucky, 27 Nov 1855 [another record of Perry deaths says 1856], age 77 (b 1778). I think the marital status column says widowed.[widower]

2. George Sizemore m. Annie Elizabeth Hart [erroneously called Elizabeth Jackson in [some] apps?]. This is the couple of Ashe, NC; This George may have been brother to Owen and Edward who went to Hawkins, TN; these three brothers are theorized to be sons of the Edward/Ned Sizemore executed by Benjamin Cleveland [in Virginia, yes? I believe the area was really in North Carolina. ] ;  George and Annie Elizabeth had (at least):

• Owen Sizemore; supposedly married Rebecca Anderson; [Owen was the informant on Rebecca’s death as says that she was his wife] their son Hiram was the progenitor of many (most?) [some] of the 1906 applicants. [and most of his descendants claimed Elizabeth Jackson as the wife]
• [edited to add:] Ned/Edward B. Sizemore, Married Annie Bolden [Baldwin]

Am I getting this correctly ?

Julia Taylor Smiths ECA 1680 indicates Ned Sizemore had five children Owen, George, Ned Jr, Betsy and Sally

Julia was the daughter of Rosemond (Stamper) Taylor. It further talks about Betsy Sizemore Stamper, Solomon Stamper and Ned Sizemore being buried in the Indian grave yard.

Answer 2

As far as who they call George All Sizemore: There are recorded death records in Perry County, Kentucky showing Winnie (Sizemore) Begley's parents as George and Agnes Sizemore. On the same page is Edward Sizemore death recording showing his parents as George and Agnes Sizemore. The showing of two separate individuals with the same listed parents imply a probable family relation. It is noted that no maiden name was provided for Agnes. It is also noted there are two different recordings for Edward Sizemore one being for the year 1855 the other being for 1856. In 1855 Perry County, Kentucky deaths Winney Begley is line 4 and Edward Sizemore is line 12, It is noted because of the multiple listing of Edwards death this researcher believes this was probably a copy of a Clerk's previous recording.  A microfilm copy of the Clerk's official vital records can be viewed on Family Search.org under microfilm 004255376 (image 195 and 196 of 636) 

I have been told by another research on Face Book that years ago they located several orders claiming Agnes was the widow of George Sizemore. The orders/minutes that are available online that Family Search has copied for Clay County, Kentucky appear to be incomplete missing vol. A. However, Vol. B was searched for Agnes being listed as a widow from 1818-1826 was completed this search proved to be negative for locating Agnes however a George Sizemore, John Sizemore, and Henry Sizemore were located.  

As far as George Sizemore husband of Annie Hart. There are multiple Eastern Cherokee applications Annie Cook Bailey (10488), Jane Clifton (15166) Nellie C Jewell (17451), Elizabeth Rose (12452), Nancy Catherine Scites (13637), Calvin Sizemore (9089), John Sizemore (9086), Owen Sizemore (34423), Z T Sizemore (12455) are just a few of the individuals who claim George Sizemore's wife was Annie Hart, Some of this particular George Sizemore's grandchildren. Children who descend from his son Owen Sizemore's son being Hiram Sizemore.  This group tend to erroneously call George Sizemore Edward or This group also makes the statement of his wife being Elizabeth Jackson. It was descendants of Hirman's son Amos who first made the claim Annie's name was Elizabeth. The oldest living daughter of Hiram Sizemore being Esther (Sizemore) Smith (12052) stated "I have been informed Edward's wife was called Elizabeth Jackson".  Other descendants of Hiram Sizemore are Hiram Sizemore (9590), Phillip Shuridan Sizemore (9591), It was noted that Frank Sizemore (10133) was the first person to claim Aruna Hart as the name of Anna. I believe this is a reading error. and there was a spelling question happening on the original. It looks like he wanted to say "was" which was crossed though then a r ana Hart. In later statements he calls her Elizabeth. In Ashe County, North Carolina Minutes 1821-1830, microfilm 008195458 May Term, May 10, 1824 (image 164 and 169 of 511) Elizabeth Sisemore is listed as the widow of George Sisemore deceased. It is noted also from the Grayson County, Historical Society webpage New RiverNotes.com where they place a lot of their history. claimed George Sizemore and Annie Hart are husband and wife.  

Research is inconclusive for identifying a marriage record  for who people call George All Sizemore (who is said to have lived in Clay County, Kentucky) married to Agnes (?). At this point the information appears to be indirect evidence and because we can not identify the informant should used wisely. 

George Sizemore who is identified as the husband of Anna Hart. who can be identified with multiple records as living in Ashe County, North Carolina, Grayson County, Virginia and Montgomery County, Virginia. Multiple ECA's will erroneously identify this George Sizemore as Edward Sizemore. I believe that this error happened possibly when people were sharing information in order to fill out their Eastern Cherokee Applications. in 1906-1907. In either case he is the George Sizemore who is identified in multiple ECA's as the husband of  Annie Hart . He is also the same person called Edward by some of his descendants. this being a probable combining of him and his son Edward B. Sizemore, and or his stated father Edward Ned Sizemore.  In either case it appears that in official records his wife was identified as Elizabeth. making it probable that she had both names. The surname Jackson needs to be researched further as it may be possible this was the surname of Cherokee Ned Sizemore's wife

 In either case George All Sizemore is NOT George Sizemore of Ashe County. And this Ashe County, NC George Sizemore is the one often confused as Edward Sizemore but he is not. It is believed this George Sizemore is the probable brother of Edward Sizemore who died circa 1810 in Hawkins County, TN as well as the probable brother of Owen Sizemore who also went to Hawkins Tennessee and the actual son of Edward Sizemore who is said to have been killed by Benjamin Cleveland    

Comments

Cindy, a couple of things (as I come back to this knot of a mess yet again):

1. Could you please email me a copy of the death record where you say that Winnie Begley's death appears on the same page as Edward Sizemore's death? The image on ancestry.com (listed currently as footnote #3 on the attached profile) includes Edward (fourth from bottom), but I do not see Winnie.
2. You refer to many Eastern Cherokee applications that refer to George and Annie Hart, but then you say that these applications mistakenly call George Edward.  Do ANY of them actually use the name George, or do they all say Edward or Ned and Annie?
3. Elsewhere you've made reference to your own spreadsheets about the Sizemores. Are you still willing to share them?

---

Annie Bailey says she is a descendant of "Old Ned Sizemore" through Rebecca, Ned, George, George, and finally "Old Ned."  Jane Clifton says her grandparents were "Edward or Ned Sizemore and his wife Annie Baldwin." Nellie Jewell is sister of Annie Bailey, same line. Elizabeth Rose says her grandparents were "Ned and Annie Sizemore."  Nancy Scites is another granddaughter.   As described on Annie Bailey's application, "Old Ned" was the 2nd or 3rd great-grandfather of the applicants.  A George Sizemore, probably the grandson of "Old Ned" moved to West Virginia and that seems to be the connection for this group, not the George who ended up in Kentucky.

---

I’m looking at Anna (Cook) Bailey’s ECA 10488 I notice she does not claim two George’s as her linage. As in the statement.

Record on pg 7 shows “grandfather Ned Sizemore, Jr Married Annie Bolden. His father George Sizemore married Annie Hart. And his father Old Ned Sizemore was a full stock Cherokee and married a Cherokee I don’t know her name.”

It is noted Annie (Cook) Bailey was only abt 5 or 6 when her mother Rebecca (Sizemore) Cook passed away. Mrs. Bailey would have only been abt 10 when her grandfather Edward B. Sizemore passed away. Chances are very good she obtained her family information from older cousins or possibly her uncle Tobias Sizemore who was still living in October of 1906.

It is noted Z. T. Sizemore oldest son of Tobias Sizemore personally knew Edward B. Sizemore and his wife Anna Baldwin as shown by him living next door to them in 1850 and 1860 census. it is also noted that at the time of Edward’s stated death Z.T. Sizemore was old enough to know his grandparents and old enough to have family information shared with him regarding his grandfathers father.

---

I misread the statement, there was just one George between Annie and the person she calls "Old Ned." On the first page of her application she states the following as the basis of her claim:

"Through my mother Rebecca Sizemore wife of Thomas Cook and daughter of Ned Sizemore Jr son of George Sizemore and George was son of Old Ned Sizemore..."

Jillian,

as for your question please see answers

1. Could you please email me a copy of the death record where you say that Winnie Begley's death appears on the same page as Edward Sizemore's death? The image on ancestry.com (listed currently as footnote #3 on the attached profile) includes Edward (fourth from bottom), but I do not see Winnie.                                                             Answer: In my original post I told the readers where they could find the actual vital records,  They can be located on Familysearch.org for free under microfilm number 004255376 you can get to the actual first record by typing image 195 of 636. The second record is located on 197 of 636.  If you need a direct link    https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G9L1-WQJ5?i=194&cat=223417 
2. You refer to many Eastern Cherokee applications that refer to George and Annie Hart, but then you say that these applications mistakenly call George Edward.  Do ANY of them actually use the name George, or do they all say Edward or Ned and Annie?                                                        Answer: In my original post I mentioned 9 ECAs that indicated George Sizemore and Annie Hart. (There are of course more than this but I felt 9 made my point) These ones DID NOT mistakenly call George Edward. If you refer to the original post it indicates there are descendants from George Sizemore and Annie's son Owen Sizemore where I mentioned four of these they claimed that George was George Edward and in one that claimed Ned was the nick name for George Edward. 
3. Elsewhere you've made reference to your own spreadsheets about the Sizemores. Are you still willing to share them? I do have several spreadsheets with Sizemore research data that I'm following.                                                   Answer: At this point one of the spreedsheets may be of interest. but if you're from the Kentucky group of Sizemores these spreadsheets follow all the different families that associated with the Ashe County, NC, Grayson, VA and West Virginia group of Sizemores.

Thank you, Cindy, for the direct link to the death record listing TWO offspring of George and Agnes Sizemore. I will add that to George's profile. (I realize that the current profile may have blended more than one George; we're still trying to tease the bad merge apart.)

Right now I'm interested in distinguishing the various branches, so would love to see your NC/VA spreadsheet(s).

Answer 3

This is information gleaned from supplementary testimony for the Eastern Cherokee applications.  Most of the applicants were multiple generations away from whoever the original Sizemores in North Carolina were.  None of them was a descendant of the George who went to Kentucky (some descendants might have applied, but didn’t provide additional testimony), seem to be connected to the branch that went to West Virginia.  Several referred to “Old Ned” but by their ages and the descriptions they were referring to Ned-the-son of “Original Ned.”

Testimony of Francis Woody (not a Sizemore)

Born about 1825, met Ned about 1840, thought he was 60-70 at that time.  Sons were Owen, Hiram, Enoch, Ned, & George; daughters Sallie, Bettie, and Annie. 

Son Ned went to West Virginia  (this gibes with the testimony of Annie Bailey and her kin)

Testimony of James Davis

Born about 1833, met “Ned Sizemore” in Wyoming County (W)VA about 1850, thought he was about 80 years old then.  His sons were George, Ned, Owen, Mark, and John.  Son George also had a son named Ned.  The older Ned died in West Virginia.  (this sounds like it was Ned-the-son-of “Old Ned.”)

Testimony of Claban Pennington

Born about 1830.  “Old Ned,” Owen, and George (brothers) visited my family.  I do not know who their father was.  (He’s calling Ned-the-son “Old Ned.”) 

Testimony of Owen Blevins:

I heard my father talk about Ned and Owen.  I have heard others speak of George.

Testimony of George Blevins

My father’s mother was Lydia Sizemore, daughter of Owen, who was a son of Ned.  Owen had a son named Ned who went to Tennessee.

Testimony of David Tucker

I have seen Ned Sizemore many times.  I think he had brothers, I have heard of one named Hiram.

Testimony of Eli Rose

My mother Virginia Sizemore was a daughter of Ned Sizemore, Jr.  He died in West Virginia.  George Sizemore lived in Wyoming County.  I have seen Hiram Sizemore.

Testimony of Martha Box

Born 1856  I have heard my folks talk about George, Owen, Joseph, and Lydia but I don’t know how I’m connected to them.  Mother Martha Sizemore, grandfather William Henry Sizemore, great-grandfather Ephraim Sizemore.  Mother and family lived in South Carolina

Testimony of George Sizemore

Born 1880, lived in Wyoming, West Virginia, gave a tree of “Old Ned” then four Georges, then his father Franklin (this also gibes with tree given by Annie Bailey who listed "Old Ned" then two Georges.)
