William was born in Tennessee in 1851 and married a Martha Donna Carter, born 1855 also Tennessee. I have traced my family back to him, WR or William, but have been stuck there. His children were Emma, Nannie, Lucy, Lillie, Walter Robert (W. R.), David O., Dee, and Carter J. Do these sound familiar to you? Mary
