The only talent that I have. So here is the information I wanted you to have. Do you think that it is possible that there was a William whose initials only appeared on censuses? The reason I ask is this. In 1928 my aunt, sixteen at the time, went to "Bailyton, Tennessee" to visit some relatives. At the time of her death, my cousin found a picture of her with the name of this town written on the back. We do not know which relatives she might have been visiting. Looking up Bailyton, Tennessee, on the map, I noticed that there was a small town called Jearoldstown about 8-10 miles north-ish from Bailyton. My Great- grandfather's middle name was "Jerold." I sent a request for a family sketch to the Greene County Library about two years ago. They still have not responded in any way to the letter or my enclosed check. Now, also, in the Davidson County, TN 1850 census there was an "L.W." Edmonson who had a son, Thomas, born about 1839. On the 1860 Davidson County census, there was an "Lalien William" Edmonson, aged 15, who I thought might possibly have been named for an uncle or other relative. Also, my Grandmother's middle name is "Lelon" (spelling uncertain). She named her first granddaughter's middle name as Lelon also. So, it seems to me that these facts add up to something. I just haven't figured it out yet. What I need to know is if there could be a William somewhere near Jearoldstown. Or someone with the initial, at least. Perhaps a family sketch in the Library?? Cemetary records?? Thanks for any help offered. Julia Florida/USA ' --part0_909438922_boundary--
