still black when she died.

his intense pain, strummed a guitar and was told he drank (always). At the end he probably needed
that drink!

Dear sir, my
name is Terry Taylor and I live in Richmond, VA. I grew up in Andalusia and
went to Andalusia high
School (1975) and the University of Alabama
(1979). I got your page here from Robert Taylor who has been a
huge help in
tracing my family. My great, great grandfather was Washington B. Taylor, My
great grandfather was
Gus Taylor, my grandfather was Oliver P. Taylor and my
father was Gordon Taylor. I have been searching for
information for years on "Wash" (which was the only name my family ever knew about), even my great Uncle Ernest Taylor, (Wash's grandson and my grandfather's brother) who still lives in Opp (and is about 98 now) had no
clue about him or even where he was buried until I ran across Robert Taylor and your page and found he's in Hickory Grove Cemetery. I still own part of his old farm out in Sanford. My grandmother told me she had always heard
they were all
buried down around Dixie. And i could never find them down there in any
cemeteries.
And your page
provided the info I needed.
Some of the infor was incorrect and I have corrected it here. but I wanted
to thank you for providing the names that helped me get it all solved. I
appreciate it.
here is the corrected information on Gussy Taylor, Washingto's youngest son:
> GUSSY2 TAYLOR (WASHINGTON B.1) was born November 15, 1873. He married Nora Cosson (or Casson).
> Children of GUSSY TAYLOR and Nora Cosson (Casson) are:
> i. TRUDIE3 TAYLOR, m. ELLIS GRIGGS.
> ii. OLIVER TAYLOR. m. MAMIE WIGGINS
> iii. JULIA TAYLOR m. _____ ANDERSON
> iv. BESSIE TAYLOR m. _____ WIGGINS
> v. ERNEST TAYLOR m. Ethel ------? (both are still alive in Opp)
> Gus Taylor married Nora Cosson (or Casson) in Butler County Alabama on Nov. 30, 1891 at the Casson residence.
> Gus's son Oliver Purifoy Taylor Married Mamie Wiggins (daughter of Willie Wiggins and Sarah Rebecca Stuckey Wiggins). Oliver and Mamie had one son, Oliver Gordon Taylor (who married Syble Carter) and they had one son, Terry Daniel Taylor (b. 12/5/56 in Montgomery). Terry Taylor married Susan Griffin of Andalusia and they had 3 children Jacob Hunter Taylor (b. 5/1/84) in Ft. Worth, TX, Abraham Daniel Taylor (b. 11/26/86 in Ft. Worth, Texas) and Abby Hannah Taylor (b. 11/29/88) in St. Louis, MO.
> (NOTE: Eugenia Riley of the Cosson (or Casson) side of the family out in
> Texas told Gordon in 1988 that the two sons (Jake and Abe) were the last
> of the remaining males with the last name of Taylor in the Gus Taylor (and
> possibly Wash Taylor line). Have no way of confirming this information.
Gus and Nora are buried at Old Bethel Cemetery between opp and Andalusia.
I found Anna Olivia Taylor's Obit from 1912 She died at age 85 in
opp at the residence of her son-in-law named Olmstead) and it led me to that
cemetery plot listing at hickory Grove where of course Wash was right beside
her. His son William B. Taylor is buried there as well.
The wife of Gussy Taylor (my great grandfather) was not Jody Wiggins
but Nora Cosson (or Casson) but I think cosson is correct. Actually I knew
Jody Wiggins! He was my grandmother's (Mamie) brother and just recently died
at over 100 years old. His wife died last month. I also added Gus's other
children and the info I have.
Again, thank you more than you know for your help on this. today is
the biggest break and the most infromation I've ever gotton on Wash. You are
a godsend. Thank you!

Annie was second wife to Jim Clark of Dozier, Alabma. He was a farmer, had a sister named Mary and

It is believed that Fred was a son from Jim Clark's first marriage.
Quote perObie Jane Wiggins " she used to love to visit there with Aunt Annie and Uncle Jim. She
(Aunt Annie) would work the daylights out of all the kids all day long and that night Gerald and Lowell
could use the car, and each had over .10 cents, for our (and my first) silent MOVIE (& no other movie)
and next day again come the 5 wash tubs of peachs & apples to be canned. But I've heard Uncle Jim
saying (from his swing) ""last time I counted I'd reared 21 (17 of my children & 3 or 4 that were not mine)

Second wife of George Washington Wiggins (Born: 9/8/1857 Died: 12/19/1924) Georgia W. (Odom)
was often times referred to as "Washie."
Following from Gloria Reisig Oct 12, 1999
Hi Bill,
Know about that catching up...I just got back from
Germany but since I have great weather, food and
sight-seeing, I will not complain.
The one glaring correction that needs to be made on the
ODOM FAMILY PAGE is daughter of Georgia W. ("washie")
Odom and George W. Wiggins...her name should be changed
from Obie Jame to OBIE JANE. She was named about her
grandmother, Jane Taylor.
I am unable to pull up THIRD GENERATION, No. 41 Georgia
Washington Odom. Remember that most of this paragraph
was incorrect. As far as I know, she was NEVER referred
to as Annie since she had a sister named Annie...she
married Jim Clark. She was known as either Aunt Georgia
or "Washie"...her tombstone has "Washie" O. Wiggins.
Georgia was born in 30 Sep 1879 possibly in Crenshaw
County, AL. She died 14 Dec 1944 in New Orleans, LA. and
buried in Bethel Cemetery, Babbie, AL, Covington County,
AL.
For information purposes, I verbally have the info that
Georgia was born in Crenshaw County but have not verified
either Crenshaw of Covington County as yet.
Additionally, this cemetery is located on the highway
between Opp, AL and Andalusia, AL.and the old address
used to be Rt 3, Andalusia, AL until Babbie Community got
their own Post Office a few years ago.
Both Georgia, and her husband were members of the Bethel
Primitive Baptist Church. The church records are still
around but I do not have them.
Do you dates of who each of Georgia's 4 children married
or their spouses birthdays...date they died? If so, here
they are and in order of their birth:
CLYDIA ESTELL WIGGINS b. Dec 16, 1908, m. Houston Isiah
Hester b. Oct 28, 1906 d.July 22, 1966 and buried at Red
Level, AL.
GEORGE RAY WIGGINS b. Oct 12, 1910, d. Dec 24, 1987
buried at Bethel Cemetery, Babbie, AL m. Orene Avant
WILMA LEE WIGGINS b. Nov 4, 1912 d. May 28, 1987 m. Sep
1932 in Gretna, La. to James Franklin Cade b. Jan 24,
1907 and d. Oct 4, 1975. Both Wilma and James are buried
at Beulah Cemetery located between Opp, AL and Florala,
AL.
ALFORD WIGGINS b. Dec 3, 1913 buried at Bethel Cemetery
Another infant son died at birth and they did not name
him.
OBIE JANE WIGGINS b. Aug 24, 1918 m. Jesse J. Grabert b.
Jan 25, 1918 in New Orleans, LA.
Maybe more than you need but it is family info that needs
to go someplace. Good thing I have retired! This is a
full time job if one will let it!!!!
Thanks for the corrections as I want to send Obie Jane a
copy of the Odoms and sure would like her name spelled
correctly. Also, will send Ray Wiggins widow Orene a
copy for their family.
Was checking on the Wiggins activities in the Civil War
and the Muster Roll for Thomas Wiggins (Uncle to George
W. Wiggins) was 54 and in Company A Covington County as
of 8/27/1864 which is the same company that Isaac W. Odom
(age 59) was in!!! interesting!!! looks like the Odom/
Wiggin families knew each other! This is great fun when
you locate something or someone in your family....I love
it but it is time consuming. Believe I may have found my
ggrand-father James Cade today! Hope it checks out for
sure!!! the Cade family is a hard one to locate!
Bear with me...I am still learning but I will get there!

[NewGeorgia.FTW]
Uncle Rufus married Lily ____________, always sick and pale and died early - 6or 8 children.
Quote per Obie Jane Wiggins Grabert: "Grandma always lived with him and his huge family.
Grandma always wanted to live there. She was tiny, thin and had jet black hair and spent her life sitting
in a straight chair beside the fire doing the family mending and she wore high laced inter-changeable
(left & right) shoes. She never recognized any of us since I could remember-age 5 or 6)). "You're so
pretty but who are you?" But she never complained - not once. Your mother (referring to her sister
Wilma/my mother) inherited that trait. I recall her dying (and being sick). Aunt Annie had taken her up
to Dozier to her home and Moma (Washie Odom Wiggins) went for 2 or 3 weeks to help her. Grandma,
she had shrunk so tiny, Aunt Annie could lift her up into that high feaather bed. She died when I was 14,
so that'd been 1933 at age 84, hair still coal back and was buried dressed all in white. I know Edward
Woodham went with me and I think Orene (Avant) went with Ray. Not being emotionally attached at all,
we went on out with our dates with no 2nd thought except for a full dating day.

I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you but Gloria died on July
the 17th. She was buried in our family plot out in Buelah on Saturday, the 19th. I was down to see her in
April to spend Easter with her. My other sister, Joyce Wood, had called and told me "If you want to see
Gloria while she's still with us you should come on down. She got hospice in while I was there. I didn't
go to the funeral. I wanted to remember her from my last visit. My sister Joyce and I went to Opp for a
couple of days to check on some genealogy for her. She worked on that as long as she was able to
physically do it. I am scanning her obituary from the Huntsville paper. It may be in the Opp News next
week. Again I'm sorry to have to give you the news. She did die peacefully with my other sister holding
her hand. I'm still thinking about buying a retirement place down there. I get the Opp News and check
the real estate every week. Now that the mill closed down I think a lot more will be going up for sell.
Both of you keep in touch.
