Cawley Researchers,
I corresponded with Fred Cawley of Mesa, Az. back in the late 1970's. He was from
Georgia and had moved to Mississipi in the late 1930's and married Alma Lee Welch. He
mentioned she died in 1942 leaving him with a 3 year old daughter. He was helping me on
the FURR line in Missisippi which was from his wife's side of the family.
Recently I remembered him and his information, and decided to look at his old letters and
see what I could piece together online.
I found in the 1930 Census for Richmond Co., Ga. a Fred Cawley age 37 born Ga. married to
Mary age 23 and they had been married about 3 years. Two children, Rayleen age 6 and
Stroble age 1 1/2. Interestingly enough when I searched the World Tree here on Rootsweb,
I found the same Frederick Moroni Cawley married to Alma Lee Welch along with birth, death
and marriage dates. Also of interest, was that Fred's line had the surname STROBLE.
Anyone know if this might be the same Fred Cawley I was corresponding with in the
1970's, and whatever happened to the 'first' family??
Thank you.
Leslie
