| Notes |
- Richard Michael Waldrop/Waldrip is more commonly referred to in
most records simply as "Michael Waldrop", sometimes with the Jr.
affixed at times. His father and himself are both listed in Maury
County May 1816 court records with Sr. & Jr in records in the same
year.
There were additional Pillow/Waldrop court records in the Maury
County, Tennessee. In at least one of these records, Michael
Waldrop was actually listed as Richard Michael Waldrop vice
Michael Waldrop.
DNA results for our branch of the Waldrop/Waldrip family provided
from the family of Dee J. Waldrop, who was born 15 Oct 1896 in
Gonzales County, Texas and died 8 Mar 1942 in Boyd, Wise County,
Texas. This family is is also proven back to Michael Waldrop Sr.
(Estimated to have been born circa 1745) of the Carolinas. The
Waldrop/Waldrip haplogroup for our family is I-M253.
