    3. I am really excited about family history and I am grateful to all the dedicated folks who man the websites and keep adding information to them for those of us who are no where near our target areas geographically. My main line of focus in Tennessee has been the GILLIAM line out of Henderson County. I often go browsing and stumbled onto the Gibson County website in August from the Henderson County site I believe. I was looking through the cemetery listings and when I opened the Duck Hill page put up by Milton Webb I just about had heart failure! I found two of the GILLIAMS that I had been searching for and one of their grandsons as soon as I opened the page! They are Harvey Leander and Alcy (PRESLAR) GILLLIAM. Finding the grandson there as well was just an added bonus. Gilliam H. L. Nov. 4, 1847 Feb. 9, 1925 he is at rest Gillam Ailsie May 22, 1847 Oct. 20, 1921 Maness Philip Jun. 22, 1891 Aug. 25, 1905 gson of HL & Aleay Gillam a precious one from ----- has gone (broken stone) His mother was Emily Elizabeth GILLAM MANESS NANNEY. I have her down line and in contact with one of her gr-gr-gr granddaughters fairly often. Harvey and Alsey had six children that I am aware of: George A. b. abt 1867 married Cora (?) Clarence b. abt 1900 Harry b. abt 1906 Amanda E. b. abt 1869 Albert M. b. abt 1871 married Frances (?) abt 1890-91 Ida b. Oct 1892 Ernest b. Oct 1894 Fester b. Sep 1896 Vergil b. July 1889 Emily Elizabeth b. 24 Jan 1873 1) married (?) MANESS Phillip b. 22 Jun 1891 2) married Richard Haywood Nanney Norah Belle b. 23 Aug 1896 married George William BEARD Zora O'Dell b. 3 Feb 1898 d. Dec 1898 Clifford D. b. 28 Aug 1901 married Ivey Mary SNOWBALL Loyd H. b. 25 Feb 1903 d. Apr 1903 Freddie H. b. 17 Mar 1905 married Frances Lillian MATTHEWS Robert H. b. 31 Oct 1909 married Hannah Alice NEVILLE Lovina b. abt 1877 married John W. McVAY Christopher b. abt 1898 Nancy E. b. abt 1869 I am very interested in discovering what happened to these other children of Harvey and Alcey. I believe I might have found their daughter Amanda and her family in the cemetery with them. I know it is a stretch but I just kind of 'feel ' it; I have no idea who Amanda married but I really think it was John A. DAVIDSON. This is another group listed on the Duck Hill Cemetery page: Davidson inf son 1891 son of JA & Amanda inf dau 1892 dau of JA & Amanda Davidson Lovie Jan. 17, 1889 Jan. 15, 1910 dau of JA & Amanda Davidson John A. 1867 1924 Davidson Amanda 1868 1952 his wife Stacks Ruby Davidson 1894 1948 The Davidsons have a daughter here named Lovie, not a big stretch to think she might have been named for an aunt (Amanda's sister). I see a few other Davidsons which might be tied in as well. Any ideas for me as to where to go next? I am not from the area so it is impossible for me to get there. Anyone on this list researching GILLIAMS, PRESLARS, DAVIDSONS, STACKS? I could sure use some help! Regards, Dianna Gilliam justpeachy@greenhills.net
