I am looking for any information for John William (b.9/5/1784,SC) married to Elizabeth James (b.10/3,
1788 SC). My lines run through his son Aaron, John Drew, Anthony W., Dale R. to me, Scotty. The
information I have indicates that John William died in Crawford Co. GA. Aaron is also listed as
serving with the 4th Alabama Res., during the War of Northern Aggression (aka-Civil War). Have more
info, too much for here. Thanks in advance, Scotty
I'm searching for ancestors or descendants of Peter W. Gray of South Carolina where his father settled
when he came from Cork County, Ireland. Peter's daughter, Tabitha (Amy?) born in SC, married Abel
Windham in Crawford Co., GA, in 1828. If you've ever heard of these folks, I'd surely like to know.
Will always pay reproduction and postage!
