Bill Have you communicated with BA in GA? X2BAYERS@southernco.com He also has Montgomery roots and mentions a connection to Davy Crockett and the early settlement of Jones Valley. I have found some of these connections for him in my North Carolina wills reference books. You might cross reference your notes with him. Let me know if y'all make any further connections and I might be able to get some collective information for you.
