Hoping to find someone who has links to the Centers I have been researching
in Jay co.
On 1870 census, John Centers 54 b. North Carolina, wife Octava 34 b. VA and
their children William 17, Rebecca 16, Margaret 12, Emaline 10, James E. 7,
Martha 5, Minnetta 3, and Nettie M. 2/12.
By 1880, Octava had remarred to Michael Haut?? age 67.
She had Nettie with her.
Mattie was a servant in the Isacc Simmons residence.
Rebecca, niece, lived with a 50 yr. old Margaret Centers and there was also
a four year old Nellie, also a niece.
William was married to Sarah ? 21 and had a little boy John 1.
Maggie 24, was a servant in the Nimrod Headington household.
Hoping to find cemetery inscription information and any other
facts there in Jay co. The county website had nothing about these
folks...of course, it was a long time ago.
