Will the person researching Cynthia Ann Parker and William James McLaurin please contact me? I read your earlier inquiries with interest and remember a lively discussion about the Parkers, but had no idea that we were related. William's mother Sophie Beck, wife of George Washington McLaurin and my gg grandmother Mariam Beck Forrest Luxton were sisters. Mariam "Maddie" is buried in Navasota, Texas. JoDell Steuver
