John Morgan Napier m. Lydia Garrett if you are male and can trace your ancestry in a direct line to John Morgan Napier your participation would be greatly appreciated. 2. Edmund Day m. Mourning Napier if you are either male and can trace your ancestry in a direct line to Edmund Day your participation will be greatly appreciated. If you are male or female and can trace your genealogy to Mourning Napier in a direct line then you are also eligible. 3. William Bull m. Lucinda Wilson: if you are male and can trace your ancestry in a direct line to William Bull please get involved. 4. Aley Ledford: if you are a descendant of Aley Ledford, male, and can trace your ancestry in a direct line to Aley please consider this project. 5. Elijah Williams: If you are male and can trace your genealogy in a direct line to Elijah Williams (Bennett Williams, b. abt. 1854 Ky, and Jane _?_, b. abt. 1856 Ky, who lived in Harlan Co per that 1880 census. (In 1880 Harlan, Louisa Howard, b. abt. 1866 Ky, dau of Lucy Howard, b.abt. 1840 KY & divorced at that time, was their next door neighbor.) Bennett Williams was the son of Elijah Williams, b.abt.1829 Tenn and Delila _?_, b.abt. 1835 Ky, and are on the 1860 Harlan Census. Jane and Delila's maiden names weren't found. Elijah was the son of James Williams, b.abt. 1794 NC and Susan _?_, b.abt. 1794 "Unknown", and were on the 1850 Owsley Co., Ky Census.) 6. Daniel Garrett m. Hetty Day if you are male and a direct descendant of Daniel Garrett This project is of utmost importance. A fund will be set up for donations to this project to be used for the sole purpose of paying for the DNA testing required for the project. This will relieve anyone who is eligible for testing from the full financial responsibility. A web site will be set up for results, news and information. Also, for those who do not have internet access a newsletter explaining the progress of this project will be mailed to anyone who submits their mailing address and wishes to receive the newsletter. Please participate and make this happen. Together we can piece together our unique history. Please feel free to contact me anytime by mail, email, or phone. Sincerely, Sherry R.
