Good morning Bill in Nashville with the old e-mail address [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) , I saw your query you put out in March 2001 about being a son of Douglas Amonette and was wondering if you are the same Bill that I have been in contact with before? I have sent an e-mail to the other addresses I have for the Bill I have been in contact with. I am researching the Amonett family in DeKalb County, TN and this is what I know of them......Its not much and any help you would like to send my way, would be greatly appreciated. I connect with the Amonett's through Aunt Curl who was my Grandfather Sidney Chester Davis's sister. Cheryl Davis-Holman [email protected] Researching .....
