Narrative
Both of Annie's parents were down on the 1920 Federal Census as being born in Alabama.
Narrative
"...The children of grandmother and grandpa [George Washington Batson and Annie Dubose] that I knew of were...Earl, Curtis Franklin, Nola, Myrtis, Ross, (who may have been older than Nola. He was a surviving twin), Mildred, Thelma (She was a surviving twin) Clara Mae and Mattie. (Grandmother had two sets of twins, but only one of each set survived.) Grandmother also had a son before she married grandpa George. His name was Lester Dubose and he and his family lived in Escambia County in N. Florida. Uncle Lester was murdered by an old friend that was homeless and he had let him stay at his house...Probably in 1940-1942."
-Batson, [Private]
Narrative
"...[Curtis Franklin Batson's] age seems right; his records show him as having been born in 1910, however, he claimed to have been born in 1909 and that the dates were mixed up. He never had a birth recorded until 1941 when he had to sign up for the draft in WWII. Of course he then had to get signatures to verify records, and many of them were guessed at. You know grandmother [Annie Dubose Batson] was a midwife, but very few records were kept back then. Grandmother could neither read nor write, she signed her name with an X. Did you know that her father was a French trapper and later a school teacher, who came through North Carolina and took a Cherokee wife, then moving on into Alabama? At one time they lived in Rome, Alabama, and also Atmore, Alabama. Grandmother had many of the Cherokee ways. She was the only "Doctor" our family knew until sometime in the 40s. I am sorry to say that I did not realize the importance of some of the herbs, salves, and other remedies that she practiced. Grandfather George's [George Washinton Batson's] father also was school teacher in Andalusia, Alabama. He served in the Confederate Army and lost an arm."
- Batson, [Private]
Narrative
"Nancy was her name. She was a licensed midwife and became known (maybe because of her nephews and nieces) as Aunt Nan. By the time I came along she was calling herself Annie. We called her Granny. Keep in mind she could not read or write. She did learn to read a bit later in life but I wrote all of her letters and signed for things when I was a kid. She was unsure of the year of her birth and did not even know her father’s full name. She thought it was Shep or Jep or something like that ( Jeptha James DuBose). Yet what she did know…………. she definitely knew. She had a photographic memory for things she thought were important. And remembered best by storytelling..."
