Bill, what other Braselton family names do you have, example parents & grandparents of your Wm. H. of Georgia? I have Braselton ancestors in Georgia also, my two names are Jacob, & father John who immigrtated from Wales. Does our lines match up?

I also have other pictures that have passed down in that line of the family (from Elisha, that is). > >On my own line, the earliest picture I have is not in the Winn side, but a picture of Abner Winn's nephew Carnot Posey, a CSA general from Woodville, MS. As you probably know, Abner was married to Lucretia Posey. Carnot was son of her brother John Brooke Posey. > >And you're right, our shared ancestor is Abner Winn, b. 1769 in Lunenburg Co., VA. I have pictures, both drawings and photos (I am fairly sure of the latter, but will need to double check my files) of his tombstone and that of Lucretia. They're buried in the Old Northport/Old Robertson cemetery in Northport, AL, which I've visited a number of times. It's in terrible shape, back in the woods and overgrown. > >My grandfather William Zachary Simpson was b. in Tuscaloosa Co., AL, in 1869, son of Mannen Clements Simpson and Samantha Jane Braselton. Samantha was daughter of William H. Braselton and Elizabeth Ann Winn, who moved in 1856 from Lumpkin Co., GA (formerly they were in Jackson) to Tuscaloosa Co., AL, along with Elizabeth's parents John Alexander Winn and Laodicea/Dicy Horton Winn. As you probably know, Abner and Lucretia had already made that move to Tuscaloosa Co. in the 1830s. > >Will gladly either scan and/or smail what I have on these families to you. Much of my information on the Winn line is not yet in my computer database, so would need to scan and/or mail documents. > >I do hope, too, to turn up more about James R. Winn's residence in Union Co., AR, where I grew up. In the town of El Dorado, where I grew up, there was a Shackelford family. I'm wondering if they would be relatives of James R. Winn's wife Margaret. You probably also know that James R.'s sister Lucretia Brooke Winn married John Wade Shackelford, son of James Shackelford and Martha Brodnax. I wonder if or how Margaret fits into that family. > >Please tell me how best to send information, and will gladly do so. Thanks very much for your reply! > >Cousin Bill Lindsey >
