Mother: Lois Vermell Fair Williams
Grandfather: John Fair (m. to Nancy Ann Blankenbeckler)
G Grandfather: Jeremiah Fair (m. to Eliza Jane Dryman)
GG Grandfather: John Riley Fair married to Janetta (Jeanetta?) Scales (we have always been told her mother (my GGG Grandmother) was Rachel Scales Gray
So:
Is Rachel Scales Gray in this article finally the GGG Grandmother we (and MANY) others have been searching for?? I have read through thousands of posts on many websites where people are asking about Rachel, Janetta’s mother and who her husband was. -

Is there a way to see Samuel Gray’s bible?? What other info can I get?

I would welcome ANY information I can get on Rachel, her husband, children, any genealogy as this has been a major roadblock for many people since at least 1999 (from posts I’ve read). We couldn’t find her anywhere, until i stumbled inr=to the files.usgwarchives.net tonight and came up with this lead. Pictures would be wonderful!

Hello. I ditto what Rene Rasul said. I have been looking for years to get more information on Janetta Scales. She is my gggrandmother. My grandmother was Hardy Fair’s next to youngest child, Cora Mae Fair. Hardy Fair was the youngest of John Riley Fair and Janetta Scales. I even went to Rockingham, NC this summer hoping to find a lead. As it turns out I didn’t have enough information with me. Any information would be so appreciated. I was told by another one who was seeking the same info, that she came across a person who had the information but was told not to share it. Come on…we’re all family and should be entitled to our genealogy. I’m willing to share whatever I find.

Looking for more information about John Riley Fair & Jennetta Scales and their families.
I heard about Cherokee, but was wondering about Melungeons who were tri-racial. My sister did 23 and me and it showed some sub-saharan african and some native american with the majority of European.
My maternal grandmother Mary Ethel Fair Larson
was the daughter of William Robert Fair and
Lula Belle Pierce Fair Barlow.William Robert Fair is the son of
Samuel Fair & Martha Ellen Fry.Samuel Fair was the son of
John Riley Fair & Jennetta Scales.
