"TO A PRECIOUS
FEW"
The days of life dwindle down to a
precious
few,
from september to december and the autumn
leaves that
have turned to gold,
begin to fade away as the snow
of winter approaches.
 Thus every living human being
must pass through transition,
inorder for life to continue.
This I perceive
through the fact that my parents
and grandparents no longer reside
on this mundane plane,
in the earthly house of the tabernacle
which I once knew,
for those houses
h
ave been disolved.
Yet the life source
of those my ancestors continues to flow
through the blood line
of my family and myself
and the actions
of different individual family relations,
often show many of the characteristics
of my ancestors.
Which leads me to the Major family, the children of the first Godfrey child born, namely Naomi Godfrey, born December 1899 in Dorchester county, Dorchester, SC and she was joined in the holy estate of matrimony to Simon Major. To this union was born Alonso Major, Marcella
Major, George Major, Theresa Major,Vivian Major and Godfrey Major.
Alonzo Major (deceased) married Alterwese (maiden name unknown at this time) Major, children: Edith Major and Philip Major.
George Major married Myrtle (Maiden name unknown
at this time) Major (deceased) no children born to this union.
Marcella Major (deceased-infant)
Theresa Major Henderson married Henry Henderson (deceased), to this union was born Keith Henderson, Kent Henderson and Lori Henderson.
Vivian Major Washington married Richard Washington, to this union was born, Richard Washington Jr., Glenn Washington and Diane Ruth Washington.
Diane Ruth Washington, was born 14 October,
1957 at Saint Mary's Hospital, in Orange, New Jersey.
She was joined in holy matrimony, to Samuel Irving Williams (date needed), to this union was born a daghter, Dana Vivian Lee williams (date needed). Samuel Irving Williams, preceeded Diane in death. Our beloved Diane Ruth Williams, passed this life on 27 October, 1999 and was Eulogized by Reverend Charles E. Martin, at Mount Zion A.M.E.
