    3. I want to add my thanks to Mr Wylie for all he has added to the ERATH Co . page activities. And, I think it is time I asked him (and all) a question on one of my ancestors (ggf), WILLIAM ALONZO (Willie) THOMPSON. WILLIAM ALONZO (Willie) THOMPSON, born March 26, 1868 in ? AL, mother M. A.(Mary Ann?) ( Evans) STARLEY. As a youth he was raised in the Charles & M.A. Starley household in Erath Co.(Duffau area). There were at least two stepbrothers--Fred and John Starley--also in the family. Further, some of M.A. Evans' siblings moved into TX from AL. They were George Evans and June Evans (married name unknown) June supposedly lived in the McKinney, Tx area and it is believed George lived in Erath Co at least for a while. After William Alonzo Thompson and Henrietta's marriage in Hamilton Co.on Dec 12, 1889 they lived off and on in both Hamilton and Erath Co where they raised their family of 6 children (one died young and is buried in Hamilton Co). They moved to OK in about 1902. My QUESTION is does anyone have any additional information on William Alonzo Thompson. We cannot find anything out on his AL birth location, the name of his father nor what happened to his father, nor when a marriage occurred between M.A. Evans and a Thompson. Any leads here deeply appreciated. William married Henrietta Rebecca Killion, daughter of James M. Killion and Eliza Lucinda (Lindsey) Mills Killion. James M Killion is buried in Valley Grove Cemetery in Stephenville, having died Aug 2 1915 while living with his son John M in Erath Co. For those wanting more information on the Killion family see my KILLION web page at: "http: //pages.prodigy.net/petesimmons/killions/killions.htm". I am interested in being in contact with all Killion family members. Pete Simmons BQXQ08A@Prodigy.com and petesimmons@prodigy.net
