CLINE - HALEY - BREASOCK
Cathy Cline Mon Sep 1 08:40:04 2003
I'm searching for information concerning Fred L. BREASOCK who was born in West Virginia in 1873 and died in Soddy-Daisy in 1915. I'm particularly interested in locating his descendants. He was married to Ida Belle CLINE who died in Columbus, Ohio, in 1910. After her death, Fred moved to Chattanooga with their two daughters, Margaret and Sarah Elizabeth, most likely because their uncle, Walter M. CLINE, Sr., lived there. I believe that he and is wife, Lucy HALEY, helped care for the two children. Sara Elizabeth died in 1911, but I beleive that Margaret lived to adulthood and married. I believe that she and her husband may have moved to the Alberta, Canada, area during the 1930's. I'd also like to make contact with any descendants or relatives of the CLINE family (Walter CLINE was originally from Cambridge, Ohio) or the HALEY family (Lucy HALEY was born in the Marrietta, Georgia area and was related to the HALEY family of Franklin, County, Georgia). Walter CLINE's other sister, Emma, was married to a Presbyterian minister, Harry C. WHITE, who was assigned a church in Chattanooga for a period of time. They had a son and a daughter. The son was named Walter. The daughter, whose name I do not know, married a cousin, Paul WHITE. Lucy HALEY's father, Joel HALEY, owned a dry goods store with his brother, James HALEY, in Chattanooga in the 1890's. I have quite a lot of information on the CLINE and HALEY families I can share.
