Are you a direct descendant and if so what is you family name? I am a direct descendant of Richard Duty, Sr. of Bienville Parish. Several of his children moved to Clairborne Parish and we have lost touch with those families: Duty, Wimberly, Aswell, Hill, McCoy, Walker, Williams, Brown, Gibson, and Tower. If any of the above families are on your search list, please contact me I would love to share information. Thank you
