I am looking for contacts with anyone researching this family and descendants. I am specifically looking for anyone who can help with information about son William J LANKFORD, born abt 1843. Based on research to date, he is the best candidate I have found to be the father of my great-grandmother: Tinnie Mae LANKFORD, born 26 Jan 1872, died 17 Apr 1897.
