A Walter Thames married a Dona Bell McDaniel in Union Springs, Barbour Co AL in 1918. Tradition says Walter ran a store in Union Springs. An old record book shows he kept data on wood measurements, cotton sales, etc. Too much credit caused him to go out of business. Walter and Dona had 3 daughters, all born in different places and it appears he entered itinerant work in construction and repair of Cotton Mills possibly with a brother J C Thames. I would like to correspond with anyone with information about Thames, Tims or McDaniel families who would have been in Bulloch Co Alabama in the early 1900s. Lee Ponder Tallahassee, FL
