Ancester of Wiley Hudson

Question

Any info appreciated about my grandfather William Hudson Jernigan born in Water Valley, MS 1893 died 1969 Denver City, Tx. I know he lived in Gorman at one time married to Ethel Vera Herst Jernigan (1894 - 1931)*
  Mildred Amelia Daricek Jernigan (1897 - 1954) - trying to figure out if he is the son of Wiley Hudson & Harriett Newell

Comments

YES Thank You!  Does anyone know if Watt and Belle had any more children aside from my grandfather William Hudson and what the T stood for and if anyone has pictures.  My grandfather moved to Gorman Deleon area at the age of 9 and worked at the Ice House Thurber.

Answer 1

Apparently his father was named Pllatt?

From the records I found it looks like he's the grandson of Wiley and Harriet.  Son of Watson T and Belle (Thorn)  Jernigan.
