William Garmon 1873-1878 Alabama

My name is William Terrence Garmon. My father William Roy Garmon was born in Gadsden, Alabama. The family moved to Binghamton, New York where he grew up. It looks like the William Garmon born 1873-1878 may have been my great grandfather. My fathers, father (my grandfather) also named William Roy, had a wife with an unusual name, something like Josepha or something similar. My father had two brothers and two sisters. One of the sisters was namedLillian. Probably not a coincidence, I imagine she was named after her grandmother. My father went into the military during WWII and put in 20 years and retired. He never did much after that. I was also a career soldier, but got medically retired due to an injury I received in Vietnam. After that I taught at the Army Intelligence School for 15 years and worked as a computer specialist for about 8 years. The VA finally made me 100% disabled so I am now retired. I had one younger brother named Gary Lee who is deceased.
I have never been able to track my ancestors past my grandfather. I'm not very good at that type of thing so that may be why I haven't been able to go any farther. I have seen the census documents with William Roy, his wife and children listed in Binghamton, NY. My email address is [email protected]. Please contact me since I believe we may be related in some way. Thanks.
