Whately in right of his wife, Cynthia; Cozart in right of his wife, Elizabeth; Simeon Parker in right of his wife, Nancy;...all above 21...petitioning for sale of lands and division of the proceeds...My William R. Gresham, born 1795, Georgia, m. 1st Sarah Fletcher, 1824, Copiah Co., MS. Married 2nd or 3rd to Mrs. Caroline C. Roberts, nee Andrews, 1841, Copiah Co.,, MS. Children of Wm R. Gresham: Martha Gresham and William L., b. 1825 (?twins); Wiley A. Gresham, Nancy Ann Gresham, FJB Gresham (male); Gracey Ann Gresham; Eliza Gresham; Frances Amelia Gresham; Edwin A. Gresham; Young Quincy Gresham; and Velerius (?Valorous) Gresham. William R. Gresham and wife moved in 1845 to Phillips Co ! AR, where he died 1852. Wife remarried to --Ferguson. My ancestor, the 1st child, Martha (Marthy) Gresham m. David Malone, Copiah Co., MS in 1841, by 1845 were in Bienville Parish LA. Saw once, Wm R. Gresham listed as Wm Radmir Gresham. Does this fit in dates for my Wm R. Gresham to be son of Littleberry Gresham? Info on him was from court records of Phillips Co., AR,; I suppose supplied by last wife. There was some sort of law suit against last wife by his children, I suppose, by Sarah Fletcher. There could have been a Toombs wife as 2nd wife of Wm. R. Gresham. David Malone's 1st wife was Mary "Polly" Colvin, both from Chester Dist/Co, SC. Her brother was early in N. Louisiana.
