Notes for BENJAMIN FLEETWOOD RASBERRY:

From Family Tree Maker, Vol 9, Pedigree #0913:

        Benjamin Fleetwood Rasberry married Sarah Gibbons.  Names of their children given in a letter by Mrs. B. W. Gibson, Rt. 1 Box 64, Maplesville, Alabama  35085, to Bess Harris Ray in 1969.  At that time, Mrs. Gibson's father, the Benjamin Fleetwood Rasberry, shown as 6th child of Benjamin Fleetwood Rasberry and Sarah Gibbons, was still living at Rt. 1, Box 253, Jemison, Alabama  36750.

Dorothy Gibbons reported that only Bird and B. F. were still alive.  The names of James Howard, Grady, and Grit, were found in a book of Chilton County Cemeteries -- that is the reason the dates of their births, deaths, and place of burial is recorded.

Research needs to be done on the others.
