Another note about Jordon..he had a son named Garnett Albert Zuber that was born in !892 in Rome, Georgia, I don't know if Jordon's wife Susan was Garnett's mother or not.
The rest of his children were born in Chattanooga, TN.

Jordon L. Zuber

shapactek — 2013-01-03 00:49:27Z

Jordon L. Zuber, born June 18, 1865, Rome, Georgia, I'm trying to find out who his parents were, their names etc. he's listed as mullato in some of the census.
he died in Chattanooga, TN on July 26, 1941.

I doubt if he was a slave but his parents would have been most likely, unless they were free people.
I don't know if they kept or had the slave owners name.
There are lots of Zuber's in the Rome area that are his relatives that I found either though help or through cemeteries etc.
I at first thought his mother may have been Tamer Zuber
but I'm not totally sure about that either now. She was born in Rome area also.
Jordon has a grandmother named Malinda Zuber with lots of cousins from that family.
and he had a relative named Walter Zuber which I think might a brother.
I really don't know much about Jordan once he left Georgia at the age of 19 and went to Chattanooga, TN.
Since he was born at the end of slavery times, it's hard to find any information about his parents or who the parents slave owner might have been.

I know this is probably confusing.. I tried to explain the best i know how from what I know which isn't much.

any help will be appreciated.

William White m. Mary Adams, mulatto ex-slave, in 1870s and disappeared

travhard — 2012-12-08 06:41:10Z

Information wanted before or after 1870 on my ancestors, a household located in Floyd County, Ga. south of the Coosa River near the state line. (Cave Spring district) in the 1870 census. Mary and children passed for white. Adams was possibly an assumed name. She was known to be a slave then a servant of Josephine & Burwell Harbour.

Mary Adams, 32 F W born Alabama, domestic servant
Josephine Adams, 13 F W born Alabama
James Adams, 8 M W born Alabama
William White, 38 M W born Georgia, farm hand

Family lore has it that the couple married (legally or in fact) and James White was adopted (legally or in fact).

Family lore has it that William White "stepped out for a stick of firewood one night and was never seen again."

Is this the same family living in Dalton, Whitfield County, Ga. in 1880?

Mary White, F W 43, head of family, widowed or divorced. Born Tennessee.
James White, M W 17, son, works in tan yard, born Alabama.

James White married Miranda Martin 1889 in Floyd County and lived in Cherokee County, Ala.

What on earth happened to Mary White?

Re: Lathams in Floyd Co.

stormiecat88 — 2012-11-12 19:54:35Z

I am also researching the Lathem family from Floyd and Polk Counties, Georgia.

Today I found the following information of Larkin Timothy Lathem:

Larkin Timothy Latham, 58 years old proprietor of a Cave Spring service station, was found murdered on the floor of his station early Wednesday morning by passersby. Sheriff Mark Horton began an immediate investigation, but if clues had been uncovered they had not been revealed Wednesday afternoon. Funeral services for Mr. Latham were held this afternoon from the First Baptist church at Cave Spring with Rev. Gus Tilly, of Cave Spring and Rev. Tuck, of Centre, Ala., officiating. Interment was in the adjoining cemetery with Bisaner's Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. He is survived by his wife; a daughter, Miss Roma Latham; six brothers, W. H. Latham, of Cedartown, J. F., Loyd and Gus Latham, of Rome, George Latham, of Armuchee, and J. T. Latham of Cave Spring; two sisters, Mrs. J. L. Nolan and Mrs. Fletcher Sanders of Rome; and one grandson.

Joseph S. Zuber

Joseph S. Zuber
b. Oct 1 1865 Floyd Co GA. Died, Nov 15, 1941 Rome Georgia, buried, Zuber Cemetery Floyd Co. Ga.
Married to Addie L. Bell

I'm trying to find a connection to Joseph S Zuber to any of these people listed below:

Malinda Zuber b. 1825 Ga.
Died ?
and the grandmother of:

Jordon L. Zuber
b. June 18, 1865, Rome GA
died. July 26, 1941 Chattanoota, Tennessee
Buried Highland Cemetery, Chattanooga, TN

Also these people listed below:
Tamer Zuber
b. 1846 Floyd Co. GA
Died May 19, 1928 Rome GA
Buried: Zuber Cemetery, Floyd Co. GA

I know I'm related to lots of Zuber's buried in the Zuber Cemetery in Floyd Co. near Rome, GA.

I just can't seem to find any information about how these people are related.
except I know that Malinda is Jordan's grandmother.

My only trail is I think a Walter Zuber might be Jordan's brother and if that's the case then Tamer would be Jordan's mother.
When i went to Georgia, I couldn't find any living Zubers in the area to ask..no one knew any of them after all this time. Possible the relatives moved away. Of course i didn't have time to search everywhere.

I know that Joseph S. Zuber was a Reverand it's posted on his tombstone.
and he was a Mason in Rome GA as well.

I hope this isn't confusing. I found all the census of these people that was available but no names listed for Joseph's mother or Tamer's family.
Tamer might have married into the Zuber family but being born that long ago probably no records exist.

Also these people are listed as mullato in some census and black in others.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

so far I've found most of these people but can't seem to find any other Zuber's in the area, I'm trying to find living relatives to see if they might know any information.
I know Malinda Zuber was born in 1825 or about that time, most of them would have been slaves, as they were mullato and black both.
and some ore buried in the Mt. Sinai cemetery north of Rome, GA. it's listed as Mt Sinai Zuber Cemetery. off of Hwy 53.
any help would be really appreciated. I think i might be at the end of my searching, with them being slaves it's possible that i may not find anything else.

Persinger family at Floyd County, Georgia 1918-1940s- city of Rome

magrif — 2012-07-06 16:45:33Z

Hoping someone may have information on a man, Sherley B. Persinger 1879-1941. He was born at Gallia County, Ohio but moved to Floyd County, Georgia by 1918 and died at Rome Georgia 1941. I know he married a Lavice M. (maiden name unknown to me). I know his parents (Bayless or Bailes Persinger & Lovenia Myers), but cannot determine grandparents, so hoping to find someone who may have a family bible or other historic family information. Appreciate any contact on the Persinger surname in Floyd County, Georgia. - Thank you, Allan Griffith - email: magriffy@comcast.net

I am looking to find an obit for a Castle Pinkney Wigley. In the 1910 census he was listed living on Park Ave in Lindale. He died sometime between 1910 and 1920. He was married to Teresa Jane Sullivan. Children were Dora Wigley (b. about 1886) Temple, Nettie Wigley Temple (b. about 1887 or 1888), William Grady Wigley (b. about 1894 or 1895, d. 1961) and one step-son James Theodore Cook (b. 1878, d. 1964). He was married to my g-g-grandmother Mary Jane Cook who died sometime around 1896 or 97. He married Teresa Jane Sullivan in 1897.

I am looking for an obit or burial information. Thank you.

One other thing: Victor Manget Davis, your great-grandfather, had 3 sons, not 2 sons. His first son was Victor Manget Davis, Jr., my father. Victor Manget Davis, Jr. married Annie Laurie Floyd and they had 4 kids. I'm one of those 4 kids.

Hey Cousin Trip! Glad to know the next generation in our family is interested in genealogy. Who would have thought we'd link up this way? I have found a lot of interesting information about the Wardlaws and the Lockhart side of the family if you're interested. None of my kids in your generation seems to care about this so I'd like a chance to share it with you.

My line is from the brother of Willie Samuel Couey, Levi F. Couey. I wish there was someway you could post the picture to maybe Allen Glover Couey and maybe someone could identify the people. It would be a valuable contribution. I'm trying to get information on Levi's wife, Ella Sarah Amanda Maloney. I'd appreciate any info. Thanks R Terry

Fannie Zuber

I'm searching for information about who Fannie married, her married name is Zuber, I don't know what her maiden name was.
she had three children that i know of, Henry, Jordan and Bird, which I think his name might have been Robert.
I only find her in the 1870 census, after that I only find Jordan living with his grandmother in two other census.
Fannie was born abt 1848, in Floyd county. I know they lived in Rome , Georgia.
Is there any place that i can write to about getting information about this. or if i make a trip to Georgia, where do i go to find any records about Fannie, and her children. Either Rome Georgia or a larger city?

Thank you
