This was a child from Tirquill's 2nd Marriage. However on the 1880 census he is listed as William McNAIR. The info was sent to me by a McNAIR researcher who received the info from a book. Don't know if this right or not. Most of the other info was correct....What do you think Mona? >> There is a problem with Tirquill McNAIR. Seems he is shown also as William and John Thomas McNAIR. I also have Amanda SPEERS as the wife, but SPEERS may have been her maiden as I show her having a son, William E. SPEERS. The daughter of (Tirquill) (William) (John Thomas) McNAIR and Amanda SPEERS, Melvina McNAIR married William GODWIN. According to 1880 US Florida Census, Escambia County, Precint 5, Super. Dist. 18, Enum. Dist. 46, William GODWIN is son of Taylor GODWIN born in AL. I don't have the parents of Taylor GODWIN but he may be the grandson of William GODWIN of GA that moved to Conecuh Co, AL sometime between 1816 and 1820. later, mona
