Bedford Grable, Kentucky to Mississippi to Arkansas
My husband's great-grandfather was Bedford Grable from Kentucky.I found him on the 1880 census living in Leflore County, Mississippi with his wife (Alice), a son (Wirt ?) and his brother-in-law, Brook Shipp.On the 1900 census the family is in Sunflower County, Mississippi.By then the wife's name is Martha so I do not know if this is a second wife or just Alice going by another name.There are three sons and a daughter.The youngest son is Walter Brook Grable, my husband's grandfather.I could not find Bedford on the 1910 census but did find the three sons, all single and living with families where they worked.On the 1920 census I found Bedford living in Poinsett County, Arkansas with his second born son, William Albert Grable.
I just recently noticed that there was a death date listed on Bedford Grable's Civil War papers, that he died Dec. 17, 1928 in Ruleville, Mississippi.
Until I found all this information on the censuses, my husband knew nothing about his grandfather's family.If there are others working on this Family Tree I would love to exchange information with them.
