James Monroe Dyer listed TN as his birth state on the 1900 Limestone Co. AL and 1910 Morris Co. TX Census with both parents being born in TN. He married Viola Andrews Hargrove in Limestone Co. AL Sept.25, 1898. Genoria was born Oct.22,1899 died Aug. 1900, James Leonard was born Nov. 26, 1900 died Jan. 3, 1960 (both in AL), Adie Irene born May 25, 1902 died 1918, Mary Rebecca born Jan. 21, 1904 died June 16, 1971, Eeppy L born Feb. 11, 1906 died Aug 27, 1908, Dulcie Lee born Feb. 26,1908 died Jan. 17, 1965 all of these children born in TX. Viola died July 17, 1908 in Morris Co. TX just 4 1/2 months after my Granny Dulcie was born. James Monroe remarried in same county to Nora E. Lunsford same year or early 1909 having 4 more children before his death in 1915. The Viola children were raised by a half sister Bueford Hargrove Berrier along with her 8 in TX. The Nora children ended back in Limestone Co with Eavns as a step father. To make a long store short we have nothing on James Monroe before his marriage to Viola. Andrews, Hargrove, Holland, Eavns are all around the Limestone/Giles area but I have not been able to link a Dyer to any of them. The only family record of James Monroe has his birth year as 1866. Regardless of 1876 or 1866 I need help to link him to a TN family. Any and all help would be wonderful!!! Thanks for your time and any help. Joan (JONI) Lane Sageser mjsageser@amaonline.com
