VINSON FAMILY
Proof for portions the Vinson lineage is hard to come by.
There is much confusion (at least in my wife's ancestral lineage) past my
wife's 2nd great grandparents. BUT, considering this and collected
supported documentation I will present what appears to be the correct Vinson
lineage.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I want to express my sincere
appreciation for all the help and sharing of Vinson information by Marolyn Howell. She has been of tremendous help in trying to sort out
some of the VINSON mystery. Mark Freeman and others have all contributed to
this effort and with time hopefully we will solve, and prove, the lineages for
which we search.
