NAME:BILL HOLIFIELD

SURNAMES: HOLIFELD

I am looking for information on my ancestors who moved to Arkansas, I believe to Miss. Co.; moved from western Tennessee. I am particularly interested in the years of late 1800's and early 1900's. These people would have been descendents of William HOLIFIELD who moved to Graves Co. KY from NC in 1800's. My limb of the Holifield tree later moved to Texas, but it is likely they moved to AR prior to coming to TX. Common spellings of the HOLIFIELD name were:HOLIFIELD, HOLLIFIELD, HOLYFIELD, HOLLYFIELD,

Thank you, BILL HOLIFIELD
