7. | Martha Ellen (Babe) DeLoach was born on 28 May 1853 in Probably Talbot, , , Georgia (daughter of William DeLoach and Sarah W. Sims); died on 30 Jul 1945 in Malakoff, , Henderson County, Texas.; was buried in Post Oak Cemetery, , Henderson County, Texas. Notes: Martha DeLoach had a bible that I know existed when Lonnie J. (Pat) applied for Social Security. The bible could not be used to certify his age because his name was listed as Patrick. All of the family stated that his name was always Lonnie J. and that Pat was a nickname. When Grandma Williams died, the bible was given to her daughter, Mellie, and was there when my dad applied for his social security. When Allie died, no bible was found.

14. | William DeLoach was born on 5 Mar 1815 in Marion District, , , South Carolina (son of Mary Ellen (DeLoach)); died on 1 Dec 1899 in Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery, , Covington County, Alabama; was buried in Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery, , Covington County, Alabama. Notes: The father of William DeLoach died aboard ship coming from France. William was born aboard ship according to Mary Ellen DeLoach Williams's obituary; however, most of the stories heard are that he was born after his mother arrived in S. C. The U. S. census all have S.C. as his birthplace. We have 2 different birthdays for him 1811 and 1815. The 1811 date would really be needed if he married Lillian DeBorkan in 1831. The 1815 goes along with U.S. census. We have found a note with the 1815 date and born in Marion District, died Dec. 1, 1889. On this note is also "sister-Emily DeLoach born April 5, 1847, died Sept 1920, age 71 year, 5 mths, 2 days. Gone but not forgotten". On the 1880 census William lists his father born in Al. & his mother Va. This would change the folklore about his father coming from France and dying immediately. We do know this is our great-grandfather's grave because his grandson William Arthur Williams lived in Covington Co., Al. when he was young and had visited the cemetery. His son Percy Giles Williams, who is alive in 2000, recalls taking his father from Texas to Alabama. They visited that grave. William married Sarah W. Sims on 18 Dec 1839 in Probably Talbot, , , Georgia. Sarah (daughter of Frederick Green Sims and Susan Jackson) was born about 1816 in Georgia, , , ; died on 12 Jan 1879 in Crenshaw County, , , Alabama; was buried in Mount Ida Methodist Church. Cemetery, , Crenshaw County, Alabama. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
