| Suffix | Sr. | |
| Birth | 12 Jun 1922 | Pamplico, South Carolina [1, 2] |
| Gender | Male | |
| HIST | He has a grandson, Marin Connaly of Los Angeles. Proposed Change: John W. "Johnnie" DEWITT, Sr. (I72039) Tree: Singleton Link: http://singletonfamily.org//getperson.php?personID=I72039&tree=singleton Description: My father is/was John Sr. This site INcorrectly lists his burial at Mt "ELIM" free will baptist church of Pamplico SC. ELIM is Incorrect. Instead, please exchange elim with ELON. My father John Sr is buried at Mt. ELON Free Will baptist church. There's NO Mt ELIM nearby. Please note his father "CORDIE" and his mother "ZELMA" are also buried at Mt. ELON; all three (JOHN, Sr & CORDIE & ZELMA) are buried beside one another at Mt. ELON Free Will Baptist Church located on Seven-Mile Road adjacent to Gibbs Crossroads just outide nearest incorporated town of Pamplico South Carolina. I KNOW all of this because (in concert with his half-sister Marilyn) I was responsible for my father's (John, Sr.) funeral & burial & monument arrangements. Also, I routinely visit Mt. ELON cemetery. Also, your site errantly references my father's year of birth as 1923. That is Incorrect. My father (John Sr) birthdate is 12 JUNE 1922 aka 6/12/22; Not 1923. My father's half-sister Marilyn can confirm above. I like this site. It's a good source of info. Perhaps you should consider registering me to add and edit other references to DEWITT at this site. There is more here at this site that I could both ammend and expand. Sincerely, John Wilson "Jack" De Witt, Jr. Florence County SC John W. "Jack" De Witt, Jr. qaferret@aol.com [1, 2] | |
