[WHT: Received from Alice Weil, June 26, 2003. As I was looking further in your info, I found John Wesley Ammons who married Sarah Ann James Flowers. She was the widow of Henry Flowers. Their daughter Mary Ann Flowers was Fleetwood Lane's mother. I did not know the names of John Wesley's parents until today.]

[WHT: From Alice Weil, June 2003:]
Sarah died in 1918 and is buried at Reedy Creek with Henry J. and Mary Ann and her James family. John is not there for some reason. It may be that he just doesn't have a headstone there. They were all members of that church. someone at the Dillon County Library sent me a copy of John's death report. I will try to find it for you.

Reedy Creek is a large cemetery located between Marion and Rains, off US Hwy 501.


829. Thompson Ammons-12072


[WHT: I am not sure Thompson is a child of Elizabeth & John. I show him as a child because he is listed as heir in Jariet Christmas' will, next to Elizabeth Ammons, Robert Ammons & Emma Strickland. All the other 23 people listed in Jariet's will are siblings, nieces or nephews.]

Death certificate shows her name as Francis Christmas; date of death as June 21, 1917; mother Mary Foxworth; father, William Christmas; certificate information given by her brother, G. W. Christmas; her date of birth on certificate is incorrectly shown as Aug 07 1833, she was born according to census information in 1849; based on ages of her mother and father, I think 1849 is probably correct; her headstone shows 1849; she was born in Williamsburg Co., SC.]
