John and Jeffie E. Roberts McCarver
hello,I am searching for the family of John and Jeffie E. Roberts McCarver who may still be living in California.
John was born 8 March 1893 in Grundy Co. TN and died 17 March 1959 in Los Angles, California and is buried in Philadelphia Baptist Church Cemetery, Beersheba Springs, Grundy Co., TN
Jeffie was born 3 May 1896 in Grundy Co., TN and died 7 April 1966 in Orange Co., California, and she too is buried at Philadelphia Cemetery, Grundy Co., TN
the only known children of John and Jeffie are:
John E. b. 1921 - he was in WWII
James W. b. 1924
Carter b. may 1927
Carlis T. (male) b. Oct 1929
John was the second son of Elias McCarver and his second wife Mary Thompson McCarver.
they had two other children:
William, the oldest, born 1884 married Edith Boyd in 1904 and they lived in Cagle, Sequatchie Co., TN and are buried there.
their sister was Etta McCarver b. 1889 and she married Rufus Bonner and they lived in Pelhem, Grundy Co., TN and they are buried there.
John and his siblings had a half-brother named:
James Rupert McCarver b. 1853 d. 13 April 1923 who married Martha Flossie King.they were my g-grandparents.
James was the son of Elias' first wife, Cydney McGill McCarver.there were three sisters, also, named Nancy A. b. 1857and Mary(Martha)& Matilda b. 1949 who were twins.
Nancy, Mary and Matilda all died while Elias was away at the Civil War, and he had to come home on leave and never went back into battle.
story has it that the "Indians" killed them, but the truth isn't known.
I would really like to get in touch with the family of John and Jeffie McCarver.
if anyone knows of their family who still may live in California, please contact me:
