George V. was born 21 Oct 1827, Shelby, North Carolina,
and died 23 Feb 1905, Jackson Co., Alabama. George V. was the son of
George Cabaniss III and his second wife Martha Martin.
Letty was born 16 Aug 1829 in North Carolina, the
daughter of Peter
Beam and Ann Long, and died 9 April 1885 in Jackson Co., Alabama.
George and Letty's children were Laura Anna, Sara Jane, Mary Salina,
WILLIAM F., Martha Virginia, Lucinda Catherine, Fannie Elizabeth, Margaret Annie, Florence
Lanora, and George Thomas.
George V. Cabaniss married second Sarah Elizabeth Mason
Stewart 27 June 1887, Jackson County, Alabama. Sarah was born 1854 in
DeKalb County, Alabama and died 15 Nov 1933 in Fouke, Miller County,
Arkansas. George and Sarah had three girls, Nancy, Cornelia and Alice.
Some refer to George V. as "George V. H. Cabaniss"
because of the way his name appears in the will of his father, George
Cabaniss of Cleveland Co, North Carolina. Close examination of a copy
of the will may show the "H" to be a misreading of a Roman Numeral II.
He is "George V. Cabaniss" in census, probate records and tombstone at Haigwood Cemetery.
