It looks like we may actually be, altho...Hi there. It looks like we may actually be, although very distantly, related. I am so very happy to find your blog. And even happier that you are still writing here. Sebastian is my 7 Great Grandfather. From Sebastian-George-Boston-James A.-John Lewis-John Williams-William Jennings-Frank William (my grandfather).<br /><br />My mom and I have revently started tracing back her paternal line, as we have all but completed the maternal line of Honaker.<br /><br />I found and read the transcribed will of Sebastian's to my mom. She was very relieved to know that he was a man of God...only to be horrified of the slaves. I had to remind her that although it is abhorrent to us today, back then it was quite normal. The Civil War hadn't even taken place; we had only been a nation about 40 years when the will was made. <br /><br />I wanted to thank you for all the blog posts you have shared as it gives insight to yet another branch of our family.Irish-Sidheseerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222071202301979422noreply@blogger.com
