Thanks Dan,Efford's father was Robert.He is in the 1830 and 1840 censuses from Upson Co., GA.Robert's father was Vines who is a recognized DAR Patriot.I am having trouble finding "acceptable documentation" for this lineage.The early censuses do not give the names of the children so wills and family Bibles are about the only sources of proof.William Garnett did not make the 1860 census and his father (and I think his mother) were dead by the 1870 census.I have a copy of the reference to his birth from the Efford Cobb Collier family Bible but I can't find out who is in possession of the Bible now if some kind of certified copy is required.Hardy Collier had it in about 1975 but he has since passed away.
Also have seen reference to a Robert Collier family Bible but have no idea about where it might be or what is in it.
Also don't know where Efford is buried.It appears he may have passed away before the family left Cobb Co., TX for Waco and Brazos Co., TX but don't know.Need to research the records for Cobb Co. but I live in TN
Lots of good genealogical data available but actual proofs are hard to find.
Thanks for the help
Walt
