Here's my lines: 1. Williams - John Williams b. 1796 VA moved to Floyd Co ~1817. 2. Johnson - James Johnson b. 1823 VA lived on Prater Creek in Floyd Co. possible connection with Edward Johnson. 3. Cecil - Thomas Cecil b. 1789 VA, lived on Prater Creek in Floyd Co. 4. Smiley - James Smiley b. 1818 Washington Co, VA. Moved to Floyd after civil war. 5. Clark - Samuel Clark b. 1761 NC. Lived on Mud Creek in 1811 and then Johns Creek in Floyd Co. I'm mainly focusing on the above lines but I'm also researching many other lines such as Conn, Meade, Howell, Akers, etc. Alan Williams www.lulu.com/jawill
