Individual Details

I found Sidney Holderness Stringer as registering in the 1917-1918 Draft. He was born 17 Jan 1899, living in Metcalf, GA at the time he registered in Leon Co FL.
I knew he must somehow be connected to the family. Census records eventually proved that he was a son of Robert Stringer, the eldest son of Emory by his second wife - it appears doubtful that he had any blood relationship to the Holderness family.
