Vinyard, who is the 3rd generation from my Amos Vinyard. Interesting that the name Amos is used in your line, and location near other Vinyards/Vineyards that settled in the So. Ill, area. I am wondering about cousins and side lines. I would be happy to share with you what I have and if you could send me anything on your line, perhaps we will find a link somewhere. I am in contact with a man named Earl Vinyard. He tells me he is a descendant of Anderson A. Vinyard. This is a complete surprise to me as we thought we had found all his children. So it goes with this genealogy work, just when you think you have it figured out, you discover otherwise.
