Born: 23 Feb. 1865, Georgia. 1
Parents: STERLING ARCHIBALD GRESHAM AND SARAH ELAM STOKES
Married: about 1886. 2
Death: unknown.
Notes:
Listed as a farmer in the 1900 Federal Census, Branch, Greene, GA; indicates five children born, four surviving; gives Johns birth as July 1864, which differs from the date given in the Gresham Bible.
Not found in any subsequent census listings, but family info indicates that he lived and worked at a dairy in Fulton County, GA as late as 1917; his son's WWI draft registration card lists him as an invalid in June 1918.
