Daggone you guys. All of you seem to have so much luck or something tracing your lines and I am still "stuck" on my William Viars from North Carolina. Am I still the lone ranger working on this line? Don't get me wrong I am happy for you. It just seems I can't locate anyone else working on this line that might have something to help me in one way or another. So many of my line of researchers want to hook us up with Noah Viers and Mary Trusler who was married on Sept 6 1841. There is no way he can possibly be the father of Robert Franklin Viars. Robert Franklin Viars' parents was JOHN BENNET VIARS & Annis Payne, son of ROBERT VIARS & Elizabeth Powell, son of WILLIAM VIARS & Anne Sheperd. Does anyone have anything on the descendants of this branch or further back on William? I appreciate and welcome any and all info. I do know John and Annis had a few more children that I don't know their names and spouses and not sure if Robert and Elizabeth had any more children other than John Bennett and Nancy Matilda Viars. Here is a bit of what I have. by the Lone Ranger ha ha.
