  • Notes 
    • Caswell County, North Carolina, Connection

      Bruce Strowd (1891-1955) owned and operated Strowd Motor Company, a Ford dealership in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In 1912, he married Mattie Lillian Atwater (1888-1972). She is an aunt of William Bennett (Bill) Atwater (1907-1984) and Roy Vincent Atwater (1916-2002), brothers who founded and operated a hosiery mill in Yanceyville, Caswell County, North Carolina.

      Note that, Bruce Strowd and Mattie Lillie Atwater Strowd named a daughter Billie Atwater Strowd (1915-1976), and that William Bennett (Bill) Atwater and Mildred Charline Isley Atwater (1919-2001) named a daughter Billie Jean Atwater (1946-2014).

      The name "Billie" given to Atwater females apparently came from William Bascum (Billie) Atwater (1881-1974), grandfather of Billie Atwater Strowd and great grandfather of Billie Jean Atwater.

      In 1937, Billie Atwater Strowd married James Bryant Johns (1911-1993). Their daughter, Billie Bruce Johns married my cousin John Benjamin Fox. Note the continued use of the name "Billie." This Billie Bruce Johns goes by the nickname "BB" or "Bebe."
