Bob Carter" Leila WELLS (b. October 1886 in Liberty County) was the wife of Grant Gideon POPPELL Sr. Leila WELLS was my paternal grandmother's sister and their parents were Columbus Evan WELLS and Mary Ann GROOVER, both of which are supposed to be buried in the WELLS Cemetery in Gum Branch, but without stones/markers. Having been there, I can attest there is no evidence of their burials there, although there are several graves with concrete covers without names tha tmight be them. Anyway, Leila and Grant (or Gideon)POPPELL had at least 5 children including: 1. Grant Gideon POPPELL Jr (b. 10-18-1912, d. ???); supposedly married Hestan McGlorhan. No other information. 2. George (no other info) 3. Allen (no other info) 4. Olive (married Everette PRICE, & children Marjorie, Annette, & Thomas. No other info) 5. Agnes (b. after 1900 & married Frank PROUDFOOT Sr & children were Betty Ann and Frank Jr. No other info). I have James Allen POPPELL (married to someone named Mary Ann ??) as the father of Grant Gideon POPPELL Sr. Liberty, GA 1910 Federal Census (INDEX - File 9 of 11) This Census was transcribed by Lamar Chapman and proofread by Peggy Moore and Jerry Chapman for the USGenWeb Census Project http://www.us-census.org/ Copyright (c) 2001 by Lamar Chapman ftp://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/ga/liberty/1910/indx-n-r.txt Page Line Last First Middle Age Birth FileName 66B 91 Poppell Archie L 28 GA ed118-pg064b.txt 68A 14 Poppell Edward I 16 GA ed118-pg067b.txt 118A 28 Poppell Essau F 42 GA ed121-pg118a.txt 68A 17 Poppell George M 3 GA ed118-pg067b.txt 118A 30 Poppell George W 3 GA ed121-pg118a.txt 68A 16 Poppell Hettie V 6 GA ed118-pg067b.txt 118A 34 Poppell Isham 51 GA ed121-pg118a.txt 118A 31 Poppell James A 1 GA ed121-pg118a.txt 142A 46 Poppell Jasper 13 GA ed123-pg142a.txt 118A 32 Poppell John A 37 GA ed121-pg118a.txt 68A 12 Poppell Jordon E 40 GA ed118-pg067b.txt 141A 43 Poppell Leonard A 17 GA ed123-pg139a.txt 118A 29 Poppell Lula G 22 GA ed121-pg118a.txt 68A 13 Poppell Mary E 36 GA ed118-pg067b.txt 118A 35 Poppell Myrain 45 GA ed121-pg118a.txt 124A 27 Poppell Myram L 45 GA ed121-pg121b.txt 68A 18 Poppell Rosa B 2/12 GA ed118-pg067b.txt 68A 15 Poppell Sarah A 12 GA ed118-pg067b.txt MORE NOTES: From: "Robert Wells" GRANT POPPELL SSN 259-42-1598 Residence: Born 18 Oct 1912 Last Benefit: Died Aug 1973 Issued: GA (Before 1951) Name: Grant G Poppell Death Date: 31 Aug 1973 Race: W Gender: M Certificate: 030462 Age: 60 years County of Residence: Liberty Militia District 1458 / Liberty Co.
