Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 226 Joe, What information I have comes from the 1870 census of Giles County, Tennessee. My great-great-great-grandparents were Newton "Newt" and Frances "Fannie" (Golden) Williams. They were in the area of Bradshaw, TN. Newt was 37 years old, born in Alabama, and a farmer. Frances was 41 years old, born in Alabama, and a housewife. They had one son, William Franklin Williams, age about 5, born in Tenn. They later had another son, Joe, and a daughter, Belle. The family was in Texas by 1880, however, Newt is nowhere to be found. Haven't been able to contact anyone in the family for information. I know this isn't much to go by, but it's all I know about them. Is there any family there that has a relative named Newton that fits mine's description? Thanks for responding. Duston Brooks --------------D39D35DFDE6FFEB6271DB9D4--

Hi Gang, The contributions have really been dwindling lately. It has been a long time since I have received a gen chart from anyone. I know we are all getting scanners for Christmas and then you are going to send me those old photos of great-grandad. But don't forget those old wills, deeds, etc. All of you Giles County residents. Do you have any photos of historic Giles County? I am sure you do. Send them snail-mail if you don't have a scanner. I think Giles is the best county in TN. If you have checked out some of the other counties, I am sure you will agree. And it is that way because of the many contributions I have received. I know we are all busy with the Holidays right now so I will be patient till the new year.

Researching Johnathon and Susannah THOMAS in Giles Co listed in the 1850 census. Susannah's maiden name is listed as HOWELL. Their daughter, Clarissa THOMAS married Major HOWELL in January 1857, Major was the son of Daniel HOWELL and Harriet Frances THOMAS HOWELL. Also researching the HOWELLs of Giles Co. There were three brothers: Major C. (not the same as above), Jesse C. and Daniel C. HOWELL. Daniel lived in nearby Maury Co., (Southport). We believe the HOWELLs and THOMASes intermarried quite often (there may be others that we are not aware of). If anyone has any information they are willing to share, please let me know. We have some on each of the three families, but not alot. Thanks Lisa Howell ToodlesNTaz@webtv.net

Haven't posted this in a while, will try again. Have more info now. Spencer J. Rogers, born 1814-very likely in Tenn. Married Elizabeth Mitchell. Also married Aurina McDonald Smith in 1865. I know now that he was alive in April of 1910, for he and Aurina appear on that census. He is 97, She is 76. I need any information on him, his family, and on Aurina. They were living on Weakley Creek Road at that time. Any info on this family would be so greatly appreciated. Norma Rogers.
