    My father, born in Petersburg, TN was named John Thomas Epps Jr. His birthday was 04/13/1928. I am trying to find out his and my ancestors. Could he be a member of this family. His father was John Thomas Epps Sr. and his sister was Maggie (maybe short for Margaret Epps)

    Any help will be appreciated.
