I found an omisssion that I would like to have corrected, if possible.
It concerns my grandfather Benjamin Jetton Brothers.
With each generation it is harder to correct mistakes
and I would appreciate it if this one could be corrected.
Through research the following information has been found out.
Sarah A.'s last name was Norwood. She was from Georgia.
She married R.J. (Robert Jetton) in 1867. She was his second wife.
They had three children, Robert Lee, Charley White, and Al Brevard
who died a single man.
In truth they had FOUR children:
Robert Lee, b. 19 Aug 1868
Charley White, b. 27 June 1870
John Brevard, b. 4 July 1874
Benjamin Jetton, b. 16 Feb 1876
