Jess (Jesse) Conyers...Malvern ,Arkansas...Originally NC/SC
I am seeking info on my great uncle Jess (Jesse) Conyers originally from SC but with a short residence in NC,who moved to Malvern,AR shortly after his service in World War I.According to accounts from my grandmother, now deceased, her brother Jess married a lady from Arkansas and had a family in Malvern where he operated a barber shop.Jess passed away around 1930. His family in the Carolinas did receive word ofhis passing but due to the extreme distance and depression era hard times, no one was able to get to AR for the funeral.Grandma related to me that the family lost contact with Jess's widow and family shortly thereafter.The word was that the widow Mrs. Conyers moved and possibly remarried and contact with Jess's Carolina relatives was never reestablished.My grandmother, Victoria Conyers Burr, passed away in 1977 frequently talkingabout her beloved brother Jess,wondering about his children, whom she had never known and not knowing his final resting place.Jess still has at least 6 living neices and nephews and numerous cousins who wouldlove to hear from his family and decendents.
