I'm searching for information on the parents of George CARAWAY.
George was born March 1877 in Dawson Springs, KY and died Jan. 12, 1927 in Rawl, Lee
District of Mingo County, West Virginia.
His death certificate lists his parents as William Caraway also born in Dawson Springs, KY
and Sue ? born in Eddyville (?) KY.
I have not been able to find George on the 1880 census with his parents.
I have, however, found George on the following census records:
June 15, 1900 Christian, Bainbridge, Kentucky, with wife, Lou, and daughter Susie.
April 28, 1910, Jacksonville, Greene, Indiana with wife, Lou andchildren Roy, Ruby (the
line I'm researching), Hazel and Johnie
January 13, 1920, Lee, Mingo County, West Virginia with wife, Lou and children Roy B,
Rubie P (Ruby), Mary H and Johnie.
George doesn't appear on the 1930 because he died in 1927 but I did find his widow:
April 7, 1930, Rawl, Lee Dist., Mingo County, WV listed as Lula Coraway with children Roy,
John, daughter Ruby under the surname of Williams and Ruby's sons Harold and Thomas.
(This is the last census that John will appear on because he died on June 12, 1937 while
working at a slate dump in Keystone, McDowell County, West Virginia)
Ruby is listed as "widowed" on the 1930 census. I know that she married Albert
WIlliams and he didn't die until January 13, 1983 in Pike County, Kentucky.
I'd like to know who Ruby's first husband was as well.
George Caraway married in Hopkins County, Kentucky on August 11, 1895 to M. L. J. Briant
(Mary Bry(i)ant.
I have a lot of "blanks" to fill in on this line and any help would be greatly
appreciated.
