NOTE: You will see some
different spellings of names in the bios.
Some surnames are spelled one way on their name title and another way in
the bio. They were supposed to be in
alphabetical order I’m sure but many are not.
You might want to look around the name you are looking for just to make
sure it was not out of order. If you are looking for a surname of “A”, I would
look at all the “A’s”. Some letters are
mixed in with others too. I have typed
them just as they were in the book. kc

KNOX, Haywood
Son Aaron and Hester Knox.
I am not sure exactly when my grandfather, My father was not born in Falls
County. I am not sure exactly when my
grandfather, Aaron Knox, moved his family from Milam County (I believe) to
Falls County. My father lived the
majority of his life in Falls County and all ten of his children were born and
reared in Rosebud, Falls County. My
oldest brother, Hayward Knox, Jr., served in Vietnam. Junior is the son
of Hayward and Greta Hall Knox. He was graduated from Booker T.
Washington High School, in Rosebud.
You might notice that I
spelled my brother's name as "Hayward" and not
"Haywood". Due to little schooling of both of my parents and
their parents, my father's name was spelled interchangeably Haywood and
Hayward. The same goes for my mother's name: Greta and Greater. All info submitted by Alma Gurski
