Text: My name is Ed (Silas Edwin) George. My father's name was Olan M.
George and my grandfather's name was Silas Franklin George.
Silas Franklin was the son of William Washington George and Didama D.
Stembridge. I found your e-mail address on a Stembridge family web page.
I have been looking over some information passed on to me by my
father's sister, who had a professional genealogist research the
Stembridge family in the early 1960s. Much of the information I have
matches your web site.
The unsual female name "Didama" was evidently a favorite family name, as
was the male name "Silas."
My information shows that Silas Right Stembridge (b. June 9, 1828)
had several children, 2 of whom were:
Sarah "Sallie" Elizabeth (b. 1855)
Didama D. "Dema" (b. 1857)
Sarah married Tom George and Didama married Wm. Wash. George, my
great-grandfather. I have no information to indicate whether or not
these gentlemen were related.
Didama and Wm. Wash. George had 7 sons and 5 daughters; as a young
boy I got to meet many of these individuals, and I have some early
photographs of the family.
The W.W. George family settled near what is now the small town of De
Leon, TX in the early 1880s; my father was born there in 1908.
