MOORE • ARGROVES • WHITE

Bill Plock ~ Jan 7 2001
I am searching for any information on my grandfather that was born in Berry, Alabama in October 1897. He was born to Jack and Zola Belle MOORE. His birth name was probably Leroy MOORE but his parents took him to Atlanta when he was very young and put him up for adoption. In 1900 he was adopted by Rufus M. and Sarah Estes Todd ARGROVES. No one knows what became of Jack or Zola Belle afterwards but Grandpa Leroy married Ruth Naomi WHITE in 1916 and they had several children that lived in and around Columbus, GA for the most part. Any information on the MOORE family will be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for the date of death and burial place of my great-great-grandfather William Asa BOBO. He was born in 1829 and married Harriet Skelton 17 March 1853 in Franklin County, Georgia.

Harriett Skelton BOBO died 10 September 1916 and is buried beside her son William BOBO in the Chapel Hill cemetery in Fayette County, Alabama, but there is no indication that William Asa BOBO is buried there.
