~~~~~~

Sharon Jerry Alexander Bond wrote: "Mom (Shirley A Peters B:16 Apr 1926) remembers how her grandfather, Andrew, used to pack his camera and tripod over his shoulder and walk off into the piney woods....He would be gone for a couple of days taking pictures. Uncle Ray (Raymer Phelps Peters Jr B: 26 Sep 1920:) , her oldest brother and Andrew's grandson, was a great photographer as well. He took literally thousands of pictures and slides. "
~~~~~~
Afer looking at my census data it looks like Andrew Layton moved from Morgan County Tennessee between 1908-1909 to St Tammany, Louisiana, USA this is based on the fact that his daughter Reba was about age 2 in 1910 and she was born in Tennessee. Shirley Ardell Peters Alexander estimated that Andrew moved his family to Poplarville, Mississippi about 1914.
~~~~~~
Andrew was blind in one eye...In our family, my mother,Shirley Ardell Peters, and her siblings called them Pop Peters and Mom Alice instead of grandfather and grandmother...they were my great-grandparents....I never knew them stated Sharon Jerry Alexander Bond.
