      APPLEBY, BOUDREAU, GOOSBY, MERRITT, WHITE posted by M C White on Friday, May 16, 1997

      Our great grandmmother Sarah BOUDREAU(X)- nickname "Pinky" and three sons had been slaves somewhere in the South. Maybe MS, GA or LA. Her first husband Ed or Edward BOUDREAU(X) died about three years before war ended. Three sons, Edward, George and Unknown, assumed following surnames, Edward W. WHITE - George GOOSBY and (Unknown) APPLEBY. Sometime after Civil War (date uknown), they relocated to, or vicinity of Hernando, MS to work on a farm owned by a Colonel WHITE. While employed on Colonel WHITE'S farm she married an ex-slave - last name MERRITT. They had one son - (Sarah's 4th). Seeking any records relative above individuals, including Colonel WHITE whose descendants might have employment or other records that would facilitate search of their past. Also, seek vital statistics, ie, Sarah MERRITT'S marriage, death and burial location; her 2nd husband (1st name unk) MERRITT marriage death & burial place. We believe our grandfather Edward W. WHITE took Colonel WHITE'S name as surname that identifies my generation. Edward W . WHITE was about 12 yrs old when he relocated to in Memphis. He was youngest of Sarah's first three children - born about 1862, so he would have been about 12 in 1872. He became a physician after graduation MeHarry Medical College (May have been Walden College at that time) in 1893. We have complete records after 1893 - but none before that.

They were living next door to each other on 1860 Rapides Parish, LA census. Also, 9 houses down from them was Thomas J. MONTGOMERY b ca 1836 MS. He perhaps may be a relative also. Have you ever seen these MONTGOMERYs?
