Name: John G. Albritton, II <john_kim_albritton@yahoo.com> Date: 2006-08-28 When earliest ancestor arrived Desoto (Manatee) Co unknown Ancestors Occupation Farmer-General Comments:
I have been looking up my father’s side of the family. My father was John Gordon Albritton SR son of J.D. Albritton b.1908 d.1986 and Edith Taylor Albritton b.1913 d.1987 of Arcadia. My father had his grandfather's name as Frank and mother was Virginia Early Albritton maiden name Bryan. I am trying to find out about my grandfather's. I believe Noah F. Albritton b.1879 was JD Albritton's father and now I'm trying to trace Noah to his father. If any one could help that would be great.
