Theresa: I stand corrected. I went to Old Enon Cemetery several years ago and thought I was stil in Morgan County. I've recently been able to locate it in aerial photos and realize it's actually in Cullman County. The marker with the name William W. Holmes was placed there in recent years by members of Enon Baptist Church, I've been told. They picked up on B. R. Holmes's speculation. For at least 10 years I have challenged anyone to come forth with primary evidence that Walter's name was William. Not one person has offered any such evidence. I have a database of some 2,500 descendants (including their spouses) of Walter and Ruth. I can add you if you'll give me your lineage. Mine is father Joseph Walter Holmes (1887-1981), grandfather Isaac Reeves Holmes (1847-1915), great-grandfather Isaac Holmes (1797-1874), great-great-grandfather Walter Holmes (c1760-c1845).
