Nails b. 1844 married Louvenia Bates. Burried in Holley Springs Cemetery Red River Parish. Mason is somehow connected to Joseph Nails (son, grandson, Nephew). Can only find land transactions for Joseph and Mason. Need to connect with anyone in Claiborne with any info regarding this family. Mason and Louvenia wound up in Red River raising the following family: Sam M. Nails Barney Fulton Nails Fannie Nails Ward Pet Nails Would appreciate any help in this area. Joseph possibly came from Tennessee via Alabama. Thank you for any help. Terry (f) Ward Hettervik
