Anita, Thanks for your response to my query. Do you have additional information for this William? I have him in my data base as the son of Thomas Ayliffe and a brother to the Thomas Aliff who married Jane Hunt but that is all I have for him. Do you know who his Mother was? I am glad to get his death date. I have a microfiln on order from The Library of VA for Roanoke Co. Wills. They will send the film to our local library and I will go there and check it to see what Aliffs' I can find. The Wills are from 1838 to 1903. Where did you find his death date? Rosalie
