In a message dated 98-03-16 20:22:36 EST, you write: << Hi Renea, I think there must some connection to Bertha, but I still cannot find her in my family line. The two children I have listed for David and Rebecca are Malissa b 1897 and Ezra b 1898. The children of William Chesterfield and Laura S. HILL are William, Dock, Lonnie, Alton, Lillie, Ida (no known birth dates or places). Yet no Bertha. I'll keep searching though. Thanks for your help. Trena >> Steele Brand Excuse me for butting in but I would like the information that you have on the children of William Chesterfield Lunford and Laura S. Hill for my records...The information that I have is old but I believe it is correct.. I received most of my data from a Ruth Carrington (decended from the Carringtons of Red Mountain, NC) in 1981...I even talked with Bertha Carrington at Bible Hill about that same time. She stated she remember my grandfather when he was a young boy (he was born in 1904). Ruth Carrington also stated in her letter that Lester Carrington (husband of Bertha) father was Thomas (Tom) Carrington and his father was martin Madison (Bunk) Carrington whose wife was a sister to David Hill's wife. Please note that Ruth Carrington stated that she was related to these Carringtons. In one of you emails she stated that you had a marriage cerificate for David G. Lunsford marrying a Rebecca A. Conder. Could Rebecca have been married to a Conder before she married David G. Lunsford? Her sister, Margaret Emma Hill, however, married L. T. (Doad) Conder. I was looking for my marriage records for Decatur Co. but I couldn't find all of them. Here is my information on David Hill.... Descendants of Calvin David E. Hill 1 Calvin David E.
