Hi Linda, I don't have any of those names. I noticed that the spelling of the last name is Holyfield. Most of the Texas Hollifields used the extra E to make it Holliefield. That's not to say that yours is definitely not related. I just don't how they might be related at this time. So sorry. JoyceO

I have nothing else. My father was Willie Klaus, his mother was Dora Johnson Klaus her father was John B JOHNSON and John was married to Janie HOLYFIELD. Janie and John had 4 daughters; Ollie Belle, Pearl and twins Ora and Dora (my grandmother). That is the sum total of what I have and know. Thanks for your response. Linda

Linda, I don't have a Janie in my tree or a John Johnson. Do you have any names related to Janie? Perhaps she is just missing from my tree. Do you have any dates for her? JoyceO

Evelyn, This sounds like the area where my Killingsworth and McWilliams relatives may have lived. Do you know if there are any Killingsworths buried in Sand Flats Cemetery? I (and several cousins) have been looking for my GG-Grandfather William Killingsworth's grave for some time.
