Looking for info. on Margaret b 1853, Wiley b 1855, Mary b 1857, Sarah b 1859, and John b 1862. In 1870 these children were living with Wiley Dudley (gfather?) in Spring Place, Murray County, Georiga. Wiley Sorrows m. Emoline Melissa Huffman b. 1855. They had 13 children, 5 born in Georiga and 8 born in Texas. Any connections? Let me know.These are my wife's relatives. John Harding
It seems that you and my wife, Norma, are 2nd cousins. We have some info. on Wiley S. Sorrows and a little more on his wife Emoline Melissa Huffman Sorrows. Your grandfather, Roy, was Norma's mother's youngest brother. Roy was born 7/3/1898. If that date agrees with your g.father's b.day, You are most likely related. If so, send me your e-mail address and we will send you what info. we have. e-mail to jch@tenforward.com
My Mother's mother was the daughter of Wiley Sorrows. I have never known any of this part of my family.It is an interesting and confusing story. I believe the family disapproved of her relationship with my grandfather. My mother was taken in as a foster child before it actually was controlled. I am anxious to find anyone with information about the Sorrows family in regard to health and just the family history. I would greatly appreciate you help. Sincerely, Becky
Hello, I read your search for info on Wiley Sorrows. Wiley was my Greatgrandfather. I have his middle name (Vernon). My Great grandmother was Emaline Huffman. My Grandfather was Roy. He was next to the last born. Vernon W. Sorrows.
My father's last name was Sorrows. His grandfather was born near Rome Georgia and his name was John W. Sorrows. I have two photos of Wiley Sorrows among my photos passed down to me. Would be interested in any information about John W. Sorrows. I have his birthday as May 2, 1861, but it is just one year off of the information posted, and there is the Wiley Sorrows, so I am thinking this is the same family. He married Delia Covington (born Aug. 4, 1864, died August 17 1927. I do have a few good photos of John W. Sorrows, but none of his wife, which I would love to have. I do know that they had 7 children, but that the marriage did not last. Their first, George Jefferson Sorrows, was my father's father.
I want to clarify that John W. Sorrows married Delia Covington. It looked like I was referring to Wiley the way I posted my response. Sorry.
Hello, I am so glad to hear from you. Firstly, I would love to see the pictures of my great grandfather, Wiley Sorrows. How is your John W. Sorrows related to Wiley Sorrows? I know Wiley was named for his mother's father, Wiley Dudley. His mother died and the children ended up with her parents. Possibly because of the war, I would have to check my information. Wiley married Melissa Emoline Huffman and migrated to Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. They also had a son named John. Let's compare notes!!! Becky

My Great Grandfather was John William Sorrows, Sr.. He had 7 children. John Sorrows Sr. was born May 2, 1861 and died March 8, 1945. His first
son was George Jefferson Sorrows, and they cared for him until his death. I have no photograph of my Great Grandmother, and I would so like to have one.
Her name was Delia Covington Sorrows, born Aug. 4, 1864 and died August 17, 1927. Wiley was a brother of my Great Grandfather. I discovered that on another post which listed all of the children. I had the photo of Wiley and did not know who he was but when I saw the list of children with both names, I know it must be the same family. Sorrows and Wiley are not common names, and then there is my Great Grandfather there. I am going to attach the photo of Wiley and his wife I assume. I also have a much older photo of him, but I am in the middle of putting together an extensive family album (five,one for each sibling and me!) and can't put my hands on it right now. I'm sending the best one anyway. If you have any photo of John Williams Sorrows' wife Delia Covington Sorrows, please let me know.
I wish I could help with that picture you requested. The truth is I found my Sorrows relatives after my mother died in 2005. She never knew any of them, just that they were in Clovis, New Mexico. Her mother Minnie Sorrows Lee died in Athens, Alabama when she was 10 years old and no one came to get her or sent for her. She was taken in by a family. That's a long story. I am convinced they kept her from her family. They more than likely received some sort of money, maybe an orphans pension or foster care. Its a long and sad story with a happy ending.
Again, I love the picture! Try getting in touch with John and Norma Harding. They are a lovely couple in Washington State. Wiley Sorrows was Norma's grandfather making her my second cousin. They have information on Wiley and his family but I have never seen anything about the Dudleys or Wiley's siblings, as far as pictures or much else really. Was your Sorrows ancester who was Wiley's brother, from Willis Sorrows' first or second marriage?
