Subject: [GABIBB] *correction* Re:Charles 'CT' Kitchens
Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2002 16:08:01 -0400


The message below has three mistakes in the third paragraph. I've
numbered the paragraphs to make the corrections easier to find. In the
third paragraph, the name 'Bryant' was the surname of the stepfather
who raised CT Kitchens. He, CT Kitchens, married a woman whose maiden
name was Lula Langston. They raised nine children (not seven as stated
below); seven boys and two girls.

Please add Langston to the surnames that are in this group.

Another possible mistake in the 4th paragraph - the 1920 census places
this family in Irwin County, not Turner County. So I'm not as sure
about my father's (Terrell Kitchens) county of birth. It may have been
Irwin.

Thank you for any help you can offer.
**************************************************************

1. I'm attempting to research my ancestors and finding very little.
Surnames include Kitchens, Wiggins, Bryant and Walker.

2. My paternal grandfather, Charles Kitchens, was sometimes called 'CT'
Kitchens. We were told that his middle name was probably Thomas. He
was born about 1861 in Bibb County and died about 1935, probably in
Bibb, or possibly Crawford or Turner County. His father, Charles
Kitchens (though the first name is not certain) died fighting for the
Confederacy
in the Civil War when my grandfather was a very young child.

3. Grandfather was raised by his grandparents and, after his mother
remarried, by his stepfather and mother. He married a woman whose
maiden name was Bryant and they had seven children, John, Ed, Charley,
Viola, Molly, Retus and Harry. The seven children were born between
1880-1907.

This wife died either in birthing Harry, the youngest, or shortly
thereafter.

4. The woman hired to care for these children, Minnie Lee Wiggins
(probably

from Crawford County, d. about 1955 in Macon) became Charles (CT)
Kitchens
second wife and bore him four sons, Ira b. 1910, Terrell b. 7/7/1912,
Herbert Lee (HL) b. about 1914, and Wilbur Bernard (Pete) b. about
1917. My father, Terrell (and possibly all of these four boys) were
born in Turner County. At one point they lived near Live Oak
settlement.

5. My father mentioned a relative named Ollie Walker about whom I know
nothing else.

Any information or leads will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Cathleen Szabo
