George SIZEMORE1 {M} = Aletha Richison {F}
George SIZEMORE:
Alias Goldenhawk SIZEMORE
Born ABT 17832
Died 6 May 1864
Buried 9 May 1864, Royalton, Magoffin Co, KY at Mouth of Oakley Cemetery3
George and Sallie had 7 children. His marriage to Mary Ann produced 13 more children.
------------------------------------------------------------
George was married to Sarah "Sallie" Anderson and Mary Ann Womack. As I have it, he did not marry Aletha Richison but had children with her. My quandry is, even though I have a listing of his children, I don't know who they belong to.
Some say George "Of the All" was Goldenhawk's father, but others disagree.
The list I have of "Of the All's" children are:
Henry, Rhoda, Ruth, Sallie Ann, John (1770), Susan, Winifred (abt 1773),
Edward (1778), George (1778)

In the obituary of DOUG HAYES (b. 23 Apr 1877 d. 30 Aug 1957) we find this reference: Doug Hayes was the son of the late Lewis Hayes and Margret Everege. He was born at McPherson, KY (now known as Hindman). He was the grandson of Golden Hawk SIzemore who was 1/4 Cherokee and the father of 52 children. Doug Hayes was married to Lula Martin in Jan 1910. She was the dau of John D. Martin. Doug Hayes had one brother Johnnie Hayes of Vest, KY and one sister Sissie Stedhan of Jackson, KY.
Birth: He was listed as age 77 in the 1860 Magoffin Co., KY Census. Goldenhawk was the 4th of 9 children. In an email from:Kestral9@aol.com George's birthdate is given as 1778.
Burial: The cemetery is located near the home of Finley Arnett. A tall handmade tombstone marks his gravesite. A glass inset in the marker which told his name and dates has broken and no information can be read. His wife Sallie Sizemore is buried beside him. A fieldstone marks her grave which has the initials S.S. engraved into it.
The Magoffin County Historical Society is now in the process of obtaining a memorial marker to be placed in this cemetery with the aid of Sizemore descendants. (17 Jul 1999)
