Hey Sourpuss, please delete this as I don't want the possibility of being kin to you. I have scan through all these letters and found perhaps only one hit, possibly. That one was the persons whose ancestors left MS and moved to Erath Co., TX. My great Grandfather was James Arthur Williams, b. on Sand Mountain, AL, near Boaz, Dec. 24, 1835, married Frances Emaline Garrett in MS, 1865, d. Dec. 28.1918, in Tate Co., MS. His father was Robert Henry Williams b. 1812 in Nashville, Davidson Co., TN, married Belinda Dougan in Marshall or Blount Co., AL, d. Dec 1, 1859, near Boaz, AL. His father was Thomas Crawford Williams, b. Mar. 3, 1790, in NC, mar. possibly, Elizabeth Clifton, d. aft 1815, in Wilson Co., TN. His father was Thomas Crawford Williams, b. 4/12/1754, mar. Nancy Kinchen, possibly 1776, d. Nov. 12, 1833. His father, possibly Robert or Roger, b. in VA. Thanks, Bill
