Hi, my name is
Omar Leatherman. My mother's maiden name was Theodosia Bennyfield
Leatherman.
I just happen to wonder on to this website and found your post. A little history that may help you.
From what I understand, my mothers family migrated from
Burke County GA and moved to Detroit, MI where I was born. Not sure what year but probably around 1920. My mother had 5 brothers and sisters which, including my mother have all died more than 15 years ago. The names of her brothers and sisters were, Maggie, Alvin,
Paris, Agnas and Bubba (which was a nick name and I can't remember his real name) all Bennyfield. There were only three children from these brothers and sisters of which two were from
Paris (Donald and I can't remember the daughter) and myself.
That's all I can think of right now.
I live in Atlanta and have considered going to
Burke County for years looking for members of the Bennyfield family.
Just to make sure there is no confusion, I am African American and I'm now 63 years old with two daughters and 5 grandsons. You can look me up on FaceBook.
