Surname: Whitehead, Gross, Saylor, North
-------------------------

Any chance of finding someone who can help me locate any records on these
folks I mention below? So many of my records seem to be so close, but never
do I get an exact match.I am in desperate need to confirm some/any of these
ancestors.

I am told that *my* George Washington Whitehead had a father named Richard
Millhouse Whitehead. His wife is confirmed as Jane Saylor. His son is John
Whitehead and John married a Katie North and had a son named Lloyd Whitehead
(my
grandfather). Now, Lloyd had a half-brother (John was married again before
or after Katie) who is named Henry and I have WPA records I sent off for
that show both of them (Henry and Lloyd) worked at WPA at the same time.
So, John, Henry, James (married Martha Slusher), Andrew (still alive born
1917) and Martha (died 1985 or so) were all brothers and sisters in some
way and were all born around 1910-1920.

Lloyd Whitehead (my grandfather died 10/1973) married Naomi Gross (my granny
who is still living) in 1932 (I have seen the record for this). However,
Henry (Lloyd's half-brother) married Naomi's mother, Purlina at the same
time. Lloyd and Naomi had 10 children, my mother, Mary, is the youngest.
