Suggested edit: Horace is the person responsible for many family trees on the internet. It was Horace who located the forgotten cemetery where his maternal grandparents are buried. It was Horace who first shared the picture of Joseph Joshua Williams and his wife Sarah Lavonia Bennett Williams and two of their daughters Maggie Bouchillion and Georgia Hoof and their families. All who belong to this extended family have him to be thankful for knowing about Joseph Joshua being wounded in the hip and jumping out the second floor window and walking all the way home. Much more family information was given and we all are indebted to him as a family! Jane Seamons
