This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: TRAVIS, HAYS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jAB.2ACI/1818.2 Message Board Post: Joan, I think it very wrong of you to say the Thomas Travis living with my ggGrandmother Elizabeth Travis in the census father was Thomas.You have no proof and should state it that way. I wrote you and explained this Thomas living with my ggGrandmother I thought was the same Thomas living with Long ,Russell county 1860 census. He is listed as an idiot and his race along with Long is listed as "other", I think Long GA,and Elizabeth MD are sisters who took turns caring for Thomas. I also told you that I had proof Harlan and James Abner Travis listed in Clinton census with Mahala Travis their father is WILLIAM Travis (not Robert as you keep posting) and their mother Mary C. Francis. I further believe these Travis are related to my ggGrandmother Elizabeth Hays as I found them in Edgar county, ILL with my Hays working on Hays farm. You stated to me you get 99.9% of your information from a book, and that another book was in the making. Please...if you can't document it don't ! relay it like its the truth.
