Forwarded by request .. From: Linne Gravestock <linne@quiknet.com> David, I'm going to try everything in order to reach this woman. Would you be amenable to re-posting her query, and then my answer to her, below it? That way, it will at least get into the Estes list archives. She wants help...and so do I. I have a very long descendancy chart on this family to send her, and she has some keys in her family that will bridge this descendancy chart and another very large family tree in east Texas. I'd appreciate it very much. Yours, Linne ____________________________________________ <dalawler@msn.com> wrote: Need info on parents of William J.

PLEASE, Someone, Anyone, Everyone, HELP I have a very extensive descendancy chart of some of the members of your family in McKinney Co., Texas. In it are the following surnames: Bean, Blackburn, Bowie, Bowles, Brigman, Brooks, Bunch, Butler, Caldwell, Crabtree, Elliot, Estus, Fant, Hardwick, Isaacs, Jeffrey, Jones, Middleton, Mush, Night, Parsons, Potter, Powell, Richardson, Stanfield, Stockman, Ware, White, Williams, Wilson, and Zachary. The family that you personally are a part of is another very large tree, most of which came from SC, across the states in the deep south, and then settled in the counties of east Texas. You may have what I need: the connecting links that go between the Waco, McKinney Co., Texas group, and the Cherokee/Rusk/Henderson, etc. counties in east Texas. If there is a way to contact you, I would love to know it. If I happen to be not on the computer, you can always leave a message for me on the Bowles list, where it will be forwarded to me.
