I would be most happy to exchange information on any of the surnames listed above. While researching my own branches, I have often found information which does not pertain to my particular line but may be helpful to someone else. (Example: I have substantial information regarding the MEDLOCK family of Georgia, because a member in my Sammon family married a Medlock.)
