I have been researching the Heaton family and particularly William S. Heaton, b. ca 1790 for several years now. Unfortunately, the results have been disappointing but I am still optimistic that someone out there will be able to help. I am interested in any information about William S. Heaton. I know that he is listed on the 1850 Franklin County, GA census with the Samuel Heaton family. I believe that Samuel was one of his sons. I enjoy being on the list and reading the many queries about families of Franklin County, GA. I suspect that many of these families have ties to my Heaton family but unfortunately have not been able to prove any. I am looking forward to hearing from members of the list.
