My Thanksgiving dinner guests would be my husband's great-great grandparents John Alfred WILLIAMS and his first wife, Delilah CHEEK, of Lee CoVA, she having been born there in 1837, and died there in 1867. I would ask him everything he knows about his parents, grandparents, etc., because I am nearly 400 miles away from any records he might have left in the Lee County courthouse that might tell me. I would tell her what I know about her children, because she died at age 30, and hardly knew them. I would ask her if I am right in guessing that the WILLIAMS babies that died in Lee County shortly after her death were her twins, and did she die of childbirth complications. I would ask him why the sheriff sold his acreage in Back Valley, when his back taxes were 76 cents. I know he was sick for a long time, but I don't know with what, and was that why he couldn't pay his taxes? I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.
