Cassie, Now that I've seen your charts I have put William L together with the others. I've included what I have on William's father and descendants. I've included a gen. report at the end of this email. I figured out one thing last night. My wife's great uncle Isaac Walton Hollis and your great aunt Clara Bell Hollis were bro and sis. Now how much kin that makes you two I don't know! Your William L Hollis has many neices and nephews and their decsendants still living in the West Cheatham Area.. The William Hollis that Jim spoke of a few days ago, is probablly my mother in laws bro. So even if he did'nt know your grandfather he would have known some of his brothers and sisters and their children (even though he didn't know that he knew them as related to William L.) All I have on your line is what you see below. I would like to have William L's descendants. Just cut them and paste in an email if your willing.. I still probably still can't open a file like you sent before. Let me know if you need more detailed info on some of the last descendants, my mother in law can get much more.
