Charles Crosby and Arilla Green Crosby are my great-great-grandparents. Cephus Crosby’s son, Liley (L.C.) Crosby is my grandfather. It is unlikely that I will be able to attend the reunion this year, but would like to receive any information being sent out, circumstances could possibly change by then.

Hi Minerva’s grand, Your great grandmother is my mother’s aunt. My mom’s father is L.C., or Liley. (I know you are aware of the various spellings). Would you have any history on his wife Dona Keys? She passed while my mom was a child. Also, I emailed you a few pictures and obituaries. Hope they help. My mom’s name is Bobbie Nell. She and her next older sister, Johnnie Mae were the babies of the family and it is very hard for me to find them on any of the census records. I once found them living in Louisiana, but that was years ago when I first began the ancestry hunt and I haven’t been able to find them again. At that time, there was a woman named Charity living with them, but there was no last name or information on her.

Hi Kenny, I am still searching for information on the Keys line, and promise you that if I find anything of help, I will pass it on to you.

It is so exciting to hear from someone who has more information on my mom’s family line. I know that when I share the info you included from your “short list ” she will no doubt remember something. Also, that list gives me lots of leads in my Ancestry.com research. Thank you so much. Best regards, Lorraine Harper

I am a decendent of Cephus Crosby who was the son of Charles Crosby and Arilla (nee Green) Crosby. This is a reunion that moves around the USA and it’s being held in Tampa this year. Are you a decendant of this lineage?

Hello Richard, I am familiar with the Crosby family to an extent. I have an 84 year old mother and her 89 year old aunt who are both orators of the Crosby lineage. The are decendants of Cephas. In the Knight crosby connection there was Marshall Crosby, Curtis Crosby and their sister married a Knight from Soso.
