My father, Columbus Hale Heathcock, had always said our last name as "Hathcock". I have not been able to trace our line back past my grandfather, John Henry Heathcock and his father, Columbus Heathcock. All from in and around San Antonio, Tx. My dad and his dad could have passed for twins. They both had reddish hair and were nicknamed "Red". (Mary Frances Heathcock Womble)990
