I have been in contact with you or the person that was gathering this information about the Westberry decendents. My grandfather was Andrew Cornelius Westberry. My mother was Myra V.Westberry Crummey. In fact the information on Andrew Westberry’s children has changed since I gave it to the other gentleman. I will try to update as much as I can and send it to you. By the way the “Andrew Westberry Reunion” just celebrated its 26 year! There are only four surviving/living children of Andrew and Mary Westberry at this time. We would love to have other relatives to attend. It is held on the second Saturday in October. Lunch served at noon. Come and join us and meet your relatives.
My name is Lenora. My father is George Washington Westberry married my mother Lenora Camp. I was three when they married I really loved seeing all his family history

I do not have any add ons nor corrections as yet but I have a question for you. My Grandfather was John Ursery Westberry one of Moses descendant. My question is: did you ever hear what was the reason for the change of Westbury name to Westberry when they left England. Or was I told the wrong story? I started my research on my family tree back in 2003 for a couple years. Then I had to stop. Now I am trying to get back in it. Also I heard (no proof) that one of the Westberry helped with the digging of King Turk. (sp) Is this true? Thank You!! Ruth Marie Westberry Morris, Forsythe.
Hello, wow this is amazing that I found this site! I am the granddaughter of Sgt Leslie Enes Westberry. I always have looked up information on him, wanting to more about my family history on my dads side, as I have always been very curious! Hope to hear from you and would love to know anymore information about our great Westberry family. I would also like to share any family history with you as well. 🙂 Take care! Sincerely , Kelly
Hello, my great great uncle W.A. Jones and his wife Edna C. Jones were close friends of Mr. and Mrs. Howell Westberry in Sylvester GA around 1900. The descendants of WA Jones and I have been looking for descendants of the Westberrys. In the 1930s, after the premature death of WA Jones, his wife Edna C. Jones left Sylvester (after living there some 40 years) and followed her four children to Florida. Edna died in Florida in 1956. We have found in “Grandma Jones’s” papers a note saying that she left of trunk of material, containing family photographs and records, with her friend, Mrs. Howell Westberry in Sylvester. I know this is a long shot, but our family is wondering if there is any chance some Jones material survives? Edna Jones was born Edna Cox McMillan in Salem, New York, so some materials may reference the McMillan family.
Thanks, Bill Darrow in VT.

I saw the old website years ago and sent in some updates on Riley Mitchell and his children, including my father.
That information seems to be missing from this site. Do you still have the old info? Can I get access to it.
As I remember, in certain sections, there were stories that had been passed down.
i have some new info on the Bohannon family . Benjamin Bohannon was the father of Pearlie Bohannon was was married to RIley Mitchell. The Bohannons are buried in the same cemetary in Statenville as the Westberrys.
I will be delighted to contribute whatever I can both informationally and monetarily. Please be kind enough to respond as you have time.
I thought all of our history was lost when the old website went down, I am most appreciate and grateful for all of the effort you have put into this new site.

I have been trying to locate Pauline D. Westberry who served in the USAF and went through basic training at Lackland AFB in April 1973. We then were stationed at Pease AFB in NH. I had met her family in Maine and she met mine in Mass. We lost touch and I would dearly like to talk to her. If anyone knows her whereabouts, please email me.
My great times 3 grandfather is Moses Westberry senior, his son Moses junior is my great times 2 grandfather. They were both Baptist Preachers in Georgia. Moses juniors son Adoniram Judson Westberry is my great grandfather. Adoniram was in the Civil War and after the war he went north and for reasons of his own never again had contact with family in Georgia. He married Philinda Ostrander in Lodi Wisconsin and raised a family there. It was around this time that our surname was changed to Westbury. After Philinda passed he went farther north in 1914 or 16 with his sons to Beverly Saskatchewan Canada where they homesteaded. Adoniram passed away in 1927 at the ripe old age of 95. His son Herbert is my grandfather and his son Roy Westbury is my father. I am pretty sure that we are a part of your very large family tree and there is a web site very similar to this one that anyone can check out. ourfamilyroots-adoniramjudsonwestberry . Looking forward to hearing from you.

My grandfather was Carey Lester Westberry and lived outside Jesup, Ga. (Madray, Springs). I am trying to find out where and when Noah Westberry and Nancy Strickland
were married. I am trying to apply for membership in the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) and I need this information. Thank You. Judy
Hello! I am not sure if anyone still updates this site, but I believe I am related! My father was Robert J. Jordan, child of Robert M. Jordan (and your list says Ida Dukes), but it was actually Gladys Bass. I think I have some missing information. Anyway, they are descended from Elizabeth Westberry, etc.
I am a direct descendant of Justina “Tiny” Westberry who was married to Malachi Harper Jr. I am interested in finding out if I am kin to Winder Jefferson and Lillie Westberry, any information would be appreciated thanks

My Dad was John Edward Swindell of Ludowici GA! Was wondering if you have any info on Swindell name from Ludowici! E mail morriskay37@yahoo.com, thanks
I’m very interested in William Westbury Jr’s daughter Mary Westbury (or Westberry) who married John McIntosh. One source of confusion is the names of William Sr’s wife and William Jr’s wives. I think William Sr. married Mary Early Elder and William Jr. married first someone name Jane and then someone named Mary. Jane was the mother of Sarah, William III, Joshua, and John, while Mary was the mother of Mary Elizabeth, and Martha. Do you agree and do you have more information?
Just an FYI: Larry Southwell (son of Claudia Westberry) wife’s name is Janice Southwell.
Hello,
My name is JC Blanc, and I stumbled upon your site by accident (I live in England). I wonder whether anyone had any knowledge of an incident that involved Port Westberry in Jesup on 16th August 1950 (I know, it was a long time ago). He was forced to shoot a man named Charles Smith, who had barricaded himself with his 3-year old nephew. I am the son-in-law of his then wife (she died 15 years ago), and am doing research on the history of the family.
Sorry for intruding like this, but any information would be of great help to me.
Many thanks.
