ASA “ACY” WESTBERRY (RABON KNIGHTEN3, RABUN2, MOSES1) was born December 25, 1890 in Tattnall Co, Georgia, and died January 31, 1944 in Toombs Co, Georgia. He married MARY JANE REWIS. She was born April 02, 1890, and died October 17, 1967 in Toombs Co, Georgia.

Notes for ASA “ACY” WESTBERRY:
1910 Census, Tattnall Co, Georgia.
Asa Westberry, 20; Mary J., 18; Lum, 1/12.
1920 Census, Tattnall Co, Georgia.
Asa Westberry, 32; Mary J., 29; Lum, 10; Lula M., 9; Clifton, 5; Annie l., 4-4/12; Ella R., 1-3/12.

Sept 7, 2000. I was told by the wife of Asa’s son Rabon, that Asa was a half-brother of his siblings. She also said that Asa’s mother was named Sarah Screws.
(A personal visit to Rabon and Ethel in late 2002 confirmed the above.)
This family did not know of Moses Westberry or of Rabun, CSA.
Asa is listed in the Georgia death index as Acy, age 63, died January 31, 1944 in Toombs Co, Georgia, but these two census records show a different age. His grave marker shows December 25, 1880.
Asa could not have been born in 1880 as his mother Sarah, sister to Delilah “Lila” , was born in 1870, as shown in the 1870-1880 census of Tattnall Co, Georgia.
(That above can be wrong, but I tend to believe the census reports. However, this family is full of surprises.)

Buried at Ohoopee Cemetery, Ohoopee, Georgia.

Notes for Jesse Westberry:    Jesse died young, he fell or jumped from the back of a pickup because he was afraid they wouldn’t make it across some railroad tracks.  He actually accidentally jumped into the path of a train.  He had two sons; one was named Jesse also and I believe the other was named Jack.

Rabon and Ethyl only had one child, Marilyn Wesberry Fiarcloth, whom everyone calls “Bug” or “Buggs” and she lives in Springfield, Georgia.Notes for RABON WESBERRY:

Note that Rabon’s last name is “Wesberry”, that is without the “T”. His wife said that the “T” was not put in his name on his birth certificate, and he never bothered to change it.
In my interview with him in 2002, he said all his brothers had a middle initial of “W”.
