“Great Grandpa”


Let me tell ya a little story
     ‘bout a lad named “Sam”
   Samuel Jacob was his name
     but preferred the nick name “Sam”.

His father’s name was Andrew
     his mother Martha gave him birth
   In the year of 1840
     for all that it is worth.

He tilled the soil for farming
     this was his livilihood
   But young men fall in love
      and want out on their own

              So he married Martha Fox
          and they made themselves a home

Wait a minute _________ not quite yet
       the story is not complete
                     there’s a family to meet !

* First, was Robert Warrick
     born in 1865
   Laura Jane Canfield
     became his blushing bride.

* Next came Charles Marshall
     born in 1868
   he choose Georgia Belle Freeman
     to be his mate.

* The third was Mary Susan
     born in 1869
   she married James Riffle
     in the year of 1889.

 * Number four was James Layfette
     born in 1871
   it was Sallie Keener
     to whom he gave his bond.

* George Miles was number five
     born in 1874
   he married Lucinda Freeman
     and made their home secure

* Cora Francis was number six
     born in 1877
   it was John Winemiller
     to whom her vowels were given.

* Number seven was Noah Marcellus
     born in 1879
   a lass named Rosa Atkinson
     suited him just fine.

* Number eight was John Woodrow
     born in 1882
   Bessie Woodell stood by his side
     and they repeated “I do”.

* Earl Fleming was the last
     born in 1884
   he found Mattie Fury
     and never searched no more.

The family of “Sam” and Martha,
     two daughters, seven sons
         a start of the beginning
             of the story yet to come.
