Dear Michael, Yes, yes, yes. Our Roach family married into the Wilson, Meek, Parrish, and Howard families. My father was named Howard Lynn Roach after a relative way back. Richard Crump (named after the doctor?) Roach married a Sefronia Meek (but we don't know her parents). Let's see one of the Roach men married Nancy Delana (sp) who has Parrish ties--I think those that came from NC. Now let me see, the Wilson--Juliett Wilson married William Buck Roach in 1831 (I think she was born in AL) and her father was from Liesband, Ireland. We also have a Morrow connection as well as Harris and a few other names. Do you know anything else about those Mud Creek families?
