Missing info on William C. son: JAMES YANCY CARITHERS b. Mar 16 1821 m. Mary Eliz Ball..moved to Alabama. What happened to him? Did he die in 1867? Does anyone have knowledge of obituary etc..? Was Mary Elizabeth from Laurens Co, Ga.? I am writing a book about this Madison County, Ga. family and would appreciate all the help I can get. The Mannings "Our Kin" does NOT answer these questions.. I am also seeking records of the Old Lystra Primitive Baptist church.. I am a direct descendant of this family. Jan
