My grandmother was Melissa Velma Washam-Owens (b1895), dau of John Archie Washam (abt 1856), son of William M Washam (b abt 1820 GA), son of William Washam (b abt 1799 GA). I actually have your book of "The Worsham & Washam Family History", and I thank you for reminding me of the info contained within. And the info from the Newspaper is wonderful! I must be looking in all the wrong places, because I've had little luck coming up with anything beyond your book. So, Thank You once again! Carolyn
