HiCarole, the only information I have on Winnifred Maddox is that someone said she was born in Greenville Co., SC about 1784.At one time I tried to make a list of Maddox families in that area.I read one family tree that Seaborn Maddox was Winnifred's father, andhis father was probably John Maddox,but that had not been proven.That sounded as if Seaborn was a proven fact.I think a Seaborn Maddox died in the 1820's in Clayton county.Been several years back since I researched.Couldn't find one Seaborn in Greenville Co., SC.I am not a very good researcher and am a good distance from good research facilities.I have a story written by a relative that had seen John Camp's picture.He said he was a very fine-looking man.He said the album was supposed to have been passed to him, but album was burned in a house fire. My line is through Nancy Camp and husband Miles Moseley.I live about 20 miles from their grave in the Dover Cemetery, Smith Co., TX.We can't find John's grave.We assume he is in the same cemetery in an unmarked grave. I wondered if any Camp relatives that stayed in Georgia had pictures.I left a query in Jonesboro, GA, but never received a reply.I have a picture of Nancy Camp, do you have one of Seaborn?Do you have Mary Tarpley's father as James Tarpley and his father James Tarpley as well?That is as far back as my records are.I would appreciate any of the stories or information on the Tarpley line.Mary's sister Winnifred Tarpley is also one of my grandmothers.Winnifred married Nathaniel Camp, and their daughter Winnifred married John Williamson, Jr. I was shocked to find my Grandfather Williamson was a distant cousin to my Grandmother.I don't know if they knew that or not.They certainly never told their children. Thank you for the information about the Williamsburg Tarpley not being a relative.I assumed that if our Tarpley went to the Church that the Tarpley bell hung, then we were probably related in some way.I knew the bell donar never married but I didn't know about brothers and sisters.I have a video of the bell and played it to hear the bell ring.Am somewhat disappointed there isn't a connection.Appreciate any further help.June
