**JOHN'S PARENTAGE:

John Lindsey Epperson was actually the s/o Delena Lucena Epperson and unknown (death certificate says John Epperson - but remember this information was given in 1928 by a family member who may not have known the full circumstances and death certificates have been known to have been wrong. However, at this time, this is the only record that we have that shows a father for him, Also, notice that even though it does list his mother's name as Delaney, it DOES NOT give her last name, which we know from family tradition that she was indeed Delena Epperson.
John was raised by his grandparents until his grandfather died and as you can see on this 1850 census, he is listed with his grandmother, and several uncles and aunts.

Descendants by John's 1st marriage to Janetta Long are DOUBLE cousins to me
