Robert Leo Tabb
M, b. 19 February 1917, d. 15 August 2000
Robert served in the military. LETTER FROM ROBERT L. TABB to JEANETTE PROBST TABB 3 June 1988:
7514 School Avenue Baltimore, Maryland 21222
Dear Jeanette,
I would like to thank you for informing me about Max Tidmore's book "Kinsfolks and Ancestors", also in your Tabb research, I was wondering if you had found any tidbits about my grandfather REV. DANIEL TABB? I have just about given up finding the date of his death or burial location, some say he owned property in south Memphis, and is buried in the Memphis area. I never realized that I knew so little about my descendants until I caught the genealogy fever several years ago. When I was growing up I had no curiosity or desire for knowledge about my forefathers or family descent. I suppose I was like most youngsters, my forebear' were like past history, and also I have always had difficulty in figuring relationship, now that I am older, and interested, I wish I had listened more. As you probably know, my grandfather was an itinerate Methodist Preacher, traveling circuit in Northeast Mississippi by horse and carriage. I have heard some very good things about him and some not so good. Tradition has it, that he was a man of strong character and earnest convictions, who believed so earnestly in the cause of the South that he laid aside his pastoral duties, and entered the active service of the Confederacy. It is said while fighting at Shiloh, Tennessee that he was wounded by a minie ball that made a clean hole through his chest. It is a family legend that a silk handkerchief was pulled through that hole. It appears that my grandfather was in his fifties (ca 1874) when he married Eliza Porter, she is believed to have died early, my father Benjamin, was raised by his Uncle John Hughs Tabb in Chickasaw County, Miss. Early in 1970 I visited John Hughs Old Homestead (Tabbsville) located near Houston, the old house was being razed at that time, the Post Office, and the old saw mill had long been demolished. I was very fortunate, found some of my descendants still living in that area, was privileged to talk to Laudie Tabb Shell, who remembered my father in his youth, but her memory of my grandfather was very vague... Bless her, she was 92 years old. One of my best leads is a letter dated 22 Dec 1968, from James B. Davis, he writes; My father James A. Davis knew Rev. Daniel Tabb well and assured me that he knew Daniel made several trips to Texas, the last visit to Titus County re recalls was about 1893, and that he passed away in a hospital in Memphis about 1897-98, place of burial unknown.
Thanks again for letting me know about Max Tidmore's book, and would appreciate any bit of information you may have on Rev. Daniel Tabb.
Most sincerely, Robert L. Tabb (Bob.) Robert was born at Vance, Quitman County, Mississippi, on 19 February 1917.
