	Notes: (includes both facts and conjecture)

		Julia Ann Anderson was my grandmother's mother and I don't know alot about her, though the picture of her linked below is how my own grandmother looked at about the same age. It's a little humbling to realize what Julia (and, similarly, other women of her generation) had to endure: she had at least 5 kids who didn't survive infancy - 2 sets of fraternal twins, and a little girl. Census: 1870 Telfair County, Georgia: Hizakiah, 21; Sarah J., 20; Julia, 3; Thomas, 4M; Daniel McDuffie, 72, works farm. 1880 Wilcox County, Georgia: Hes. K., 31; Sarah Jane, 30; Julia A., 12; Thomas, 11; James, 9; Rebecca, 4; Alice, 2M. 1900 Laurens County, Georgia: Noah G. Heath, 47; Julian, 32; Thomas N., 12; Sarah E., 11; Clevia (sic), 10; James H., 8; Gertrude, 6; George G., 5; Mary E. (sic), 3; Hezekiah, 1. Noah owned the farm where they were living; they had been married 13 years and all 8 of the children they'd had survived. 1910 Wilcox County, Georgia: Noah G., 56; Julia, 43; Thomas, 22; Sarah, 20; James H., 18; Rebecca G., 16; George G., 15; Alma I., 13; Hezekiah, 10. Noah and Julia Ann had been married 23 years, and 11 of the the 15 children they'd had survived. Noah rents the property that he is farming. Also living there (or next door) is their widowed daughter, Lucretia Holder, 20, and her 1-year-old daughter, Annie. Thomas was working his father's farm as the foreman, and James and George were laborers. Lucretia was listed as a dressmaker. 1920 Wayne County, Georgia: Noah G., 65; Julia, 52; Sarah E., 30; James H., 28; Georga G., 25; Hez K., 20; Ina, 18; Florence (sic), 13; Annie, 11; Henry Billings, 18, hireling. Though Annie is listed as a Heath and Noah's daughter, this is probably his granddaughter, Annie Holder. Noah died in 1929. 1930 Wayne County, Georgia: Roland Dennison, 30; Florene, 24; Annie J. Heath (sic), 61, mother-in-law, governess.

Donnie Roland Denison John Heath, b. ca 1903; died in infancy Unknown daughter, b. ca 1903; died in infancy Unknown son, b. ca 1908; died in infancy Unknown daughter, b. ca 1908; died in infancy Mattie Mozelle Heath, b. 10 June 1909; d. 15 Sep 1910 The information about Mattie Mozelle and the two sets of twins who died in infancy came from Elizabeth (Kirkland) Heath, wife of my great-uncle Hezekiah. Hezekiah dropped his middle name when he turned 21 and used the initial "K" instead, possibly emulating his maternal grandfather, Hezekiah Anderson, who went by H. K. Anderson in later years.
