Wow, pretty cool stuff. Looks like we are related for sure. Just to many
coincidences of names etc. My father is Stephen Wyle Cease, son of Lysle W
Cease (I am the 2nd), and if I remember correctly my grandfathers name was
Herman Prince Cease. My father recently sent me a picture that has
Alexander Cease in it as well as his brothers and a sister!
My dads email is Scease(a)aol.com . He can probably help you further. Please
keep me in the loop. I would love to have a family tree hanging under glass
in my home.

Sorry the email was not ready to send yet. Somehow it sent. I live
in
Georgia. My parents lived in New York, Pa and Ohio. Later in life my
uncle moved to California and my father moved to Georgia to live with me
as he was terminally ill. He died here in 1998. My dads father, was a
drunk and beat his mother badly. a few days later she died of pnuemonia,
(that is what they put on the death certificate) The children were put
in
the childrens homes. by the time my father got out, his dad was in
california and had almost drank himself to death. a few years later he
died.
So the family history was lost to us. What I could find out was only
through the social security application of his father that listed his
parents, I was able to get his father Daniel Andrew Sease's civil war
pension record that gave me some leads and his death certificate gave me
his fathers name as stephen sease. You would think such an unusual name
it would be easier to find but not much luck I am afraid. My side I have
a Jones who married a Smith and found so much more info that when I
started on my fathers side I figured it would be a piece of cake. ALas!!
no such luck.
My mothers side was from Georgia and the southern records are available
to me. So I could search actual papers. So much easier.
Her father was Perry Prince. That name was easier to.
Thanks for the info.
Nancy
