One record shows him born in VA and getting married in KY before settling in Jefferson County , MO. They had 9-10 children. Most seemed to have stayed in the area. I live in South County St Louis, MO right across the Meramac River from Jefferson County. I am going to Jefferson College and research the JC Historical Society records. They have seem to have some good stuff on file. We have William's will. It begs more questions than answers. He left his wife and 7 children $1 in silver! He had abandoned them sometime around 1830. We also speculate adultry, a question of paternity and a murder by dueling!! My wife's connection is through William/Margaret's son Theodore and his wife Letha Tucker Graham. Let me know if we have any type of connection here. David McCrary dlmccrary@sbcglobal.net Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
