Bob, I "think" Earl's mother is Tilantia B. HANEY/HANLEY. I was hoping Earl's obit would have his mother's maiden name but no luck there. I haven't found a death record or burial for Tilantia B. (Haney) WILLIAMS & I haven't located Earl on the 1900 U.S. Census. Sheldon & I have been discussing WILLIAM's families for some time. To quote Sheldon "These Williams are making me nuts---nuttier". I replied "that is why I have grey hair & wrinkles."

Pat, I feel the same way about my Williams family over in JCI. Never have been able to determine who my 4th great grandfather Samuel Isaiah Williams' (1808-1864) parents are. Guess it's time to dig up a male to do the DNA test. Sandy (Whalen) Bauer On 3/11/2013 6:36 PM, Pat Corona wrote: > Bob, > > I "think" Earl's mother is Tilantia B. HANEY/HANLEY.
