Hey cousin, any luck finding info on dear old Hansford D. ? I searched high and low and never found anything. What document actually shows him born in South Carolina? I know that is my assumption as well but not hard facts to prove me correct. Thinking about making a run to Scott and Lawrence counties in MS to see if I can shake the tree.

Good luck, Walter Murrell Walker Jr. (Walt)
