Thanks for your E-mail, Laura, Hope someone can locate that Bible some day. It sure would be nice to track down William's parents. Some of the researchers say his father and mother were Geroge and Ann, but there is no positive proff that I am aware of. Others definitely say that Geroge and Ann are not William's parents. My grandmother said her mother (Elizabeth Ruthwin Cheatham) told her that her mother (Malinda Jane Calvert) has said that her (Malinda's) grandfather, William came from the Lord Baltimore line. I have no proof, but that is the family story. Any clues to William's parents and information on Elizabeth Nodding's family will be really appreciated.
