Individual Details
William Walters
(2 Jan 1813 - 1885)
William married Elizabeth Arnett in 1833.
Which William? Is the following William son of William & Elizabeth Ball, or is it William, son of Abraham & Judith Thomas [see his notes].
I believe this man's death recorded 1885 in Gregg Co TX as in the family group sheets in the Library in Paris, Henry Co, TN may be an error, and it was his cousin William, son of Abraham & Judith that died in Texas.
In 1840 there were two William Walters living in Henry Co TN. They could be the two first cousins.
One was listed as having 2 males, age 20-30 in the household [this William would have been about age 27 and had several brothers of similar age], and 1 female age 20-30.
The other William Walters was age 30-40 [William son of Abraham would have been about 34], 1 female under 5 and 1 female age 20-30. The section for young males is obscured by a blot.
There was also a William Walters living in Grainger Co TN and one in Washington Co TN, but neither of them fit the families any better than those in Henry Co.
