TO: ANDY GARY
I am interested in your Williamson line in the posting below. Have
you or are you researching Williamsons in Tennessee??? Did any of them come
to Central Texas, Hays-Comal County, Texas, San Marcos area, before the
Civil War. This is my daughter-in-law's line. Her Williamsons married into
the early Texas Hill Country Germanic settler families. They served in the
Confederate Army from Texas. Have not worked on it in sometime. I am on
this list because a lot of mine and my husband's lines go back to Virginia
before the Rev. War. I am originally from Georgia and my husband's lines
took the southern route to Texas shortly after the Civil War, mostly
stopping off in Alabama before coming to East Texas.

Subject: [VA-ROOTS] Good Day To You
Hello,
I am Andy Gary, Local History and Genealogy Librarian for Clark County
Public Library, in Winchester, Kentucky (named for your Winchester). I am
usually trying to help others when I correspond with other librarians. This
one is for me.
I would like some advice if you can offer it, since it will be another 2
years before I can travel to Richmond to do research. What I am keen to know
from you is are there any microfilms or other materials you could suggest to
me for either borrowing or purchasing that might shed some light on who the
parents of *James Gary* were? what I know:
1. Born 1777 or 1778 in Virginia.
2. Family tradition *claims* he served with the Petersburg Volunteers, which
as I understand it, drew volunteers from Amelia, Dinwiddie, Prince George,
Chesterfield, and one or two others.
3. Know for sure James did serve in War of 1812 -- via obituary
4. He relocated to Williamson County Tennessee after 1813, where he married
Susanna Williamson (of VA.) in 1817.
5. James died in TN in 1847.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as all of the mainstream
sources have offered no clues.
My Best Good Wishes, Andy Gary.
