There doesn't seem to be anyone searching in my family, but I have noticed a lot of people searching the Travelstead name. My great grandfather was born in Allen County, KY. In 1892 he, Langston Evans Williams and his wife, Dorcas Martha Elizabeth Walker arrived in Franklin Co. They and their children then found their way to Marion, Williamson CO. Langston had a sister, Mary Elizabeth Williams Travelstead (daughter of George Washington Williams) married to Granville Travelstead. I am wondering if the Travelsteads in Williamson Co could be related to her or her children. Loraine --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Get on board.

Lorraine, I believe all these Travelsteads go back to a William Traffenstadt in North Carolina. I believe Granville is son of Abraham, son of William Traffenstadt by his first wife, Catherine Anthony. The line in Williamson county is from Peter William, son of William Traffenstadt by his second wife, Hannah Miers. Myself, I have a Travelstead connection through Nancy Ann, daughter of John Solomon, son of William Traffenstadt and Catherine Anthony. Nancy Ann married my GG Grandfather, Elisha Eddins Reynolds i, and they resided in Johnson County.
