I'm looking for information on Lydia McWilliams, b. abt 1844 in MS, in 1860 Claiborne census with brother Wm. T. McWilliams as head of household. Who did Lydia marry? She possibly married in Claiborne Co. or Columbia Co., AR. Also in this census was Lydia's sister, Mary C. McWilliams, b. either 1831 or 1835. Who did she marry? Mother of these sisters and brother was Eleanor Moorhead McWilliams, also living with Wm. T. in 1860. I have no record of her after 1866. Did she die in Claiborne Parish or elsewhere? Thanks for any information. Sandra

Does anyone know the lineage of Edward Huddleston b. Sept 13, 1902 (wife Nettie) who is buried in the Haynesville Cemetery, Claiborne Parish, LA? Jerry Lou

Martha, do you know whether David Redden was a relative of Lewis Henderson back in the state of Alabama? I seem to remember one of David's descendant's married into the Nicholson genealogy. Is that correct? I know David was the ancestor of Mrs. Lena Dillard. Have you connected to the Bagwell line yet? Thanks, Sherry

Martha, You wouldn't by chance be related to a Andrew John Stinson, born about 1740, in North Ireland? Andrew and his wife died in Mecklenburg Co., North Carolina during an epidemic in the winter of 1778-1779. This was during the American Revolution. Andrew's wife probably died first, as she is not mentioned in his will; however, his children were. Andrew's will was dated _irtieth (30?) Day of January 1779. Tradition of that period would suggest that they paralleled the customary migration route from Ireland to Connecticut, and on into Virginia. Andrew would find work as an overseer on a large plantation owned by a Mr. Miller. Supposedly, Andrew secretly married Mr. Miller's daughter. Because of this, she was disinherited resulting in the couple moving to Mecklenburg, NC. The children named in Andrew's Will were farmed out as orphans to learn a trade under the mistaken name of Stevenson. Children taken from the will of Andrew Stinson were: Mary Stevenson, an orphan who was bound to Sarah Stevenson to learn the spinster's art (a spinner of yarn) and to receive 75 pounds besides lawful dues. Andrew Stevenson, an orphan 13 years of age, who was bound to William Cry to learn the fuller's trade (one who shrinks and thickens woolen cloth by moistening, heating, and pressing), by consent the said Master is to give his said apprentice a horse worth 12 pounds currencies AD 1773, and a saddle and bridle. David Stevenson, an orphan 15 years of age who was bound to Robert McDowell to learn the wheel wright trade (one who made or repaired wheels; wheeled carriages, etc.). The master agrees to give his said apprentice a horse, a saddle, and a bridle worth 13 pounds currencies AD 1773, and lawful dues. John Stevenson, an orphan 11 years of age who was bound to Joseph Reed a weaver to learn his said art and he is to give him the sum of money in real value of 10 pounds currencies AD 177-. Martha Stevenson, an orphan eight years of age who was bound to Alexander Steward a weaver to learn his art and Mr. Steward is to give her a cow and calf besides lawful dues. Alexander Stevenson, an orphan four years of age who was bound to David Stewart to learn the weaver trade.

I remember Lena Dillard quite well. Back in 1969 I visited with Jess Redden, Ginny Redden and Lena. They were wonderful people. I corresponded with all three for a long time. Joyce Feazell Jones visited Lena Dillard. She gave her the family bible. Joyce was a descendant of Caroline Bagwell Joiner. If you would like her address, contact me at Gritzbaugh@AOL.com Sherry

Hi Ron and Shirley, Welcome to the list. We keep running into each other like this and I'll bet our lines cross somewhere. (smile) Debra

Hello, I am brand new to the list. I recently found that my great grandfather had a sister named America SHEETS CORNISH. She was married to William J. CORNISH and had the following children that I know of: Ophelia, Joe, and Martha. There is a William CORNISH that died in July 1967 in Haynesville, LA. I believe he is the William that was married to America because this William was born in Feb 1872 the same as hers. America was born in 1875 I believe, in AR. I would appreciate any information on this family. At one time they lived in AR. I don't know when or where America died. Thank you, Shirley Oligney Baker, Waco, TX rbaker@clearsource.net

They are my gg grandparents. I have no information about Henry Layton. I would appreciate any information about him which anyone may have and would be willing to share. I have information about Catherine Kingrey's family which I am willing to share. Henry Layton is a major brick wall for me! Thank you.

Hi, I'm new to this list and just started researching my daughter-in-law's lines. Through the social security records I've learned her paternal grandfather, Brodie TANNER, was born Jan. 4, 1893 Summerfield, La and his parents were William Franklin TANNER and Mattie MITCHAM. In 1938, when Brodie filed this information, he was living on Rt 2 Box 160, Haynesville, La. He says his father is living and his mother is dead. Brodie and Pearl ENGLISH had a son, Brodie Jr., born Jan 1928 in Ruston, Lincoln Parish, La. Brodie Jr. never knew his father. I can only assume that Brodie Sr. and Pearl were married. I've not been able to locate information on Pearl. Any help is appreciated. Lona lona@pdq.net
