Joseph Hampton MASKE is my paternal great grandfather. My father is John
Curtis McCOLLUM, 8th of 9 children of Joseph Walker McCOLLUM and Alice
Glendora MASKE. I am Alice Geneva McCOLLUM White, only child of John
Curtis McCOLLUM and Geneva Jessie HUNT.

I would appreciate any assistance in verifying information I have stated as
well as filling in the many blanks. I am particularly interested in
occupation, county of residence, taxes, wills, war service, any
civil/criminal court records as well as church records -- giving my
ancestors life and not just names and dates. Thank you ---
