Hello Martha,

I don't have information about your William. However, he was born about the same year
as my great-great grandfather. There were four brothers in KY that I am aware of.
Their names are Enos, James William, Charles and Thomas. Some of them were in Sunfish
KY. It is a little burg on the KY map.

Try the gatton roots address shown with this memo.
