Marilyn Many years ago, you kindly pointed me to t he right direction in finding Ralph Jackson and Lea's Williams. To day, I know my direct line back to Ralph and about the mid 1800's, they moved to the area of Charlotte Co, and then Campbell, and later Bedford, but back to Campbell and then to Pittsylvania. I was wondering what families in Campbell you are collecty. If I can find some, I'll send them along if you want to send me a surname list? -----Original Message----- From: Marilyn J.
