WINSTEAD - WILLIAMS - I am seeking inofrmation on the surnames of: WINSTEAD, WILLIAMS, ROBERTSON I have census from 1900's-1930's stating WINSTEAD, and WILLIAMS were in Clay County. I believe we have more family in Greene County also. The names I have are WILLIAMS Simon P. born in May 1881 married in to WINSTEAD family with wife Jennie Molly WINSTEAD. From that marriage came a daughter WILLIAMS Zula M./Zula Minor/Zula Mina. Zula M./Zula MInor/Zula Mina married into a ROBERTSON family with the marriage to a ROBERTSON Elmer, of which we have very little or no knowledge of origin. The WILLIAMS Simon P. and Jennie Molly constists of the following: Victor Alpha Isheal Zula Minor Viola Wheelan Ella Junior and shows a grandson living with them in 1930's by the name of Claude. We have also found that we are related to the BRADSHEARS/BRADSHARS/BRADSHERS but have not found that connection in writings as yet! Thank-you for all your help.Vanessa Fleming VANESSA FLEMING
