EVERHART, GRUBB
George EVERHART was born in Hawkins CO, TN, January 12, 1848. He married Rebecca M. GRUBB who was born in TN June 01, 1851. They had 3 children. David Walter EVERHART was born June 10, 1875. My Grandmother, Catherine Elizabeth EVERHART was born August 27, 1877. I was told they had a brother, Jeff, who died when he was about 12 years of age. By his siblings birth dates, I assume the only census Jeff would have been in was the lost 1890 one. How do I find his birth and death date and where he was buried? Perhaps some information on why he died. Thank you.
