Colleen, Welcome to the list! All you have to do is let folks know who you are looking for and anyone with information will send you what they have. You might get lucky and meet a fellow reseacher---a new "cousin"! Maybe someone has a book and will do a look-up for you. Just send some information to the list! We need names and if you have any dates or approximate time periods it helps to know them. By the way, Paris is in Henry County. Henry County and Stewart County are seperated by the Tennessee River. Do you happen to have the name of some community that the folks lived in? If you do, it might be helpful if you mentioned it. Don't worry if you don't find a cousin today! The list has been a little slow as people are finishing up their gardens, getting the kids back in school, and all those other things we have to deal with these days. Good luck with your search!

Hello to everyone on this list. I, too, just discovered you folks - mentioned on the Henry County queries. I am researching the Williams surname and learned there was a large group of Williams in Henry County. My James Lewis Williams was born 1836, married Effie Butler 1863. Their three oldest children were Nathan, b 1864, John Thomas (Tom) b 1865, Sarah b 1869, all born TN. The other children were born in Arkansas, the last 1879 in Sebastian County. These folks seemed to have travelled the back roads, cannot locate James Lewis or Effie Butler TN home or after their marriage. Is anyone on this list researching Williams and perhaps these names ring a bell? Many thanks.
