Cousin Carol, Thanks for the information. I descend from Carrie Anna Werner. She married Creddie Williams son of Elijah Williams and Ruth (Rutha) S Barger. I have not had much luck tracing back the Werners. I would appreciate any information that you might have and I would share anything that I would have. Again thanks for your help.
