Srg.twd has been looking for them (Hiram & Goolsby) for ages. Wish I could tie them to ours. Our Sharps spent some time in AL before going to LA and coming to TX after the Civil War. Our Francis Marion was born in GA before going to AL. He enlisted in CSA in Natchitoches, LA with his brothers Wm. Baxter & Jackson. Are you related to Davis?
