I posted a note on Ferris but I think I should have posted it here on Faris first. I have records that use the 2 spellings interchangeably. Thanks for the Faris/Gilliam data. I am descended from Martha Gilliam and Francis Drake-daughter Sarah Drake married Charles Jackson, daughter Cordelia married William Pryor Hays 1870 son John Pryor Hays married Martha Hudson eabout 1905- son John Jr my father 1916-1993, and I am Herb Hays. There is a will of Francis in 1814 from Logan Co KY naming Martha beneficiary. I also have some old notes that say that Martha Gilliam's father John Gilliam descended from a Hinshaw Gilliam an early settler of colonial VA. Now I need to solidify this & keep working on my Faris side also.
