I know nothing about John "Bud" Redmond. My Mom who died at 97 yrs old last
year told me his name and she only knew his name. My grandmother name was Lou and she was
born March 1871 in Pickens, Pickens Cty., South Carolina and died October 21, 1941 in
Atlanta, Fulton Cty, Ga. She married John Patterson Pitman on May 27th 1892 in Hall Cty,
Ga. On their marriage license her name was listed as Lucy Redmon, but she always went by
the name Lou. When I was a kid we were told that one of her parents were Indian and that
they had another name, but was changed due to ethnic reasons. They also had a sister who
was named Elizabeth who married a Chastain and she was called Lizzie. I don't know
why there is a difference in the spelling of the last name, other than to say many of my
grandfather's family spelled their last name with two "t's", except
maybe they got tired of having people tell them they were spelling their last name wrong -
I had that happen many times to me.
I have a question for you do you know when and were John died and where he was buried?
I forgot to tell you yesterday that you can reach me thru my e-mail address:
rubyjoynes(a)yahoo.com if you would like.
