Can you be more specific? In January of 1850, Milner Echols of GA wrote a family paper on the Virginia immigrant John Echols family and is a great starting point for Echols research, especially for the branches that headed into the Carolina's and Georgia, but it is way to long to recite. I have a copy of this paper submitted to the DAR library and you might find a copy on line, try a Google search. regards, Margie Brown
