Ga I have no more on him at this time. William Riley Johns was the son of George Johns b. 1787 Beaufort Dist. SC d. 1867 Charleton Co. GA he married about 1807 Anna b. 1790 SC.

Thank you Gail, thet's just what I needed. Funny thing . . . the sudden activity of the group . . . I've kinda taken a hiatus from intense research, just reading subject lines, filing emails in my folders to look at later, following up on only the highest priority primary lines . . . then, pretty much out of the blue, I ran across my deceased husband's uncle (also deceased, naturally!), who I have been seeking for quite a while. It was on a birth-parent search site. It seems that the grandaughter of this man had taken it upon herself to find her father's birth-parents . . . my husbands uncle was this man's adopted father . . . follow me so far? So, I emailed her, re-introduced myself to that branch of the family (hubby's been gone for 12 years!), and she gave me some info on her grandfather . . . His name was Bill Culbreath, and he was a Judge in Miami-Dade Co., FL. I was always under the impression that he was William Culbreath, could never find a trace. Then she tells me that he was WINFRED Culbreath! One search on World Connect and BINGO, where do I find him? In the JOHNS family database!! Now, I know I have JOHNS in my OWN family tree, so I've been filing all the messages on the Ware site to look at later . . . How weird is this? My husbands uncle is buried in my own family tree! Actually, I have come to the conclusion that in the South, go back far enough and we're all inter-related! I found that to be true in my own paternal grandparents . . . One from Barbour Co., AL, one from Wayne Co., GA . . . they crossed about 5 generations back in Alabama! So anyway, Just wanted to share that useless bit of info/story with the group, and add to the awesome activity of the group that I now have to filter to keep my inbox clear!
