Thank you for posting this picture. Our branch of the family came from his brother William.
ReplyDeleteMel, I just saw your comment here (not sure if you'll see this). I'm also descended from his brother, William James Timmons II (1802-1846) and Elizabeth Eaddy. My line is through their daughter, Mary Ellen Timmons (1842–1876) who married Joseph Franklin Hanna (1817-1891). What branch are you?
DeleteSo happy i found this picture. Would love to know my line. Don't know where to start
DeleteActually, family comes from your Williams Uncle Isaac Timmons b. 1779. Got my Williams mixed up. Isaac had Henry Isaac Timmons(1833-1864) who had William Morgan Timmons(1858-1934)
DeleteYour William would be Isaac's nephew. Isaac is my ggggrandad.
what is the real history of Timmonsville; why did everyone leave and where did they go. My last visit 1980's no Timmons were left. The library noted a book of Timmons family with no copy there. Anyone with a reference?
