Here I am brand new to the list, launched my YOUNG query and now my second email is about COMPTONs! My grandmother was Susan Victoria Compton, d/o Colbert Compton & Mary Jane Alley. Colbert was s/o William F. (Fuller?) Compton and Mary Polly Sword. I have been stuck at William Compton for about 15 years. No one has been able to nail him down as to where he came from when he settled in Pike Co., KY. I do know he was called Billy and that he was said to have made trips back "to VA." Although I don't have a birth year, he married on March 30, 1851 so I would guess he was born about 1830. Any help much appreciated. I will share what I have. Thanks!
