Don, I have always assumed thast Joshua Dow, J. W. (Jacob Wesley). William B., Benjamin E., and Wlisha were brothers although I have no prrof of this, beyonf the fact they they were involed in estate settlements, etc in Yazoo County, MS and in Copiah County, MS.Be aware thatome of the court documents in Copiah County give WALKER in the newer typed copies of the old documents, In the original books it is clearly WALLer.Are you acquainted with Sarah Beene? She has this ame WALLER line.I thibk they came from Hancock Co. GA and that their parests were the STEPHEN nad JANE WALLER who sold land in Hancock Co in 1800, and bought land in St. Helena Parish, LA in 1803.This same Syephen was the administrator of the estate of Banjamin Waller in Hancock Co in 1800.Perhaps this was the grandfather of Joshua Dow and William B.I certainly have never established this. Joshua Dow died when my ggrandfather was only a few years old, and my relatives in Yazoo County know very little about him.What I have came from Chancery Court records concerning the estate of Sarah Anderson's father Sydney.Ray
