Posted on: Wilson Co. Tn Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Wilson/10794 Surname: Everett, McDonnold, Graves ------------------------- My g.g.g.grandfather was Reverend James McDonnold who left Statesville, Wilson Co, TN in 1838 to become either #5 or 6 among the Protestant circuit riding ministers in Texas. One of his daughter Margaret McDonald Sielski's sons was named Gerald EVERETT Sielski. She gave all her sons surnames as given names and they all relate somehow to her family. I've not been able to pinpoint who the Everett is for whom Gerald is named. One of Rev. McDonnold's neighbors in Texas was a man named Sylvanus Everett but other than being a neighbor, I don't find a connection there? I believe that Sylvanus was born in Maryland. I am also trying to find out where a Judge by the name of Waller Washington GRAVES came to MO from. He does not appear to be a member of another well known Graves family that lived in MO. Does anyone recognize this name?
