      Attached is a picture of the tombstone of Harrison Mcquiston who would be my GGGG grandfather. I noticed his date of death is incorrect on the site. His tombstone has his death as April 1, 1880. He is reported to have died from falling off his horse. Also attached is a picture of my G Grandfather William Ezra tombstone.

      My dad William Thomas Mcquiston passed away May 12th 2007. He worked as an auto body man for most of his life. I can send a picture of his Tombstone. He was buried in Adams Tn at the Bellwood Cemetery. His sister Estelle "Sis" Elks died just 3 weeks before Dad on April 21st, 2007. Her funeral was his last outing before he passed away. He was the last of the siblings to go.

      My son, Phillip David Stuard, Jr has 2 children with Adriedra Northington. Karma Denise Stuard born May 9th 2005 in Springfield Tn and Kahlil Deon Stuard born December 4th, 2007 in Springfield Tn. Still hoping for a wedding date. This generation thinks it is optional!

      My Brother William Thomas Mcquiston Jr "Billy" has a son Zachary who was born on December 28th 2007 in Nashville, Tn. He married Sonja. ( will have to get you her maiden name and the exact wedding date)

      I will send you more pictures and information. I found several family gravesites. One I found was for a Mai Mcquiston Coggins in the same graveyard as my G grandparents. I don't know who she is.
      Also John William Thomas Mcquiston passed away in September. I will get you the information on that also.

      Thanks for your work on this. I would love to visit all the grave sites. My daughter loves family hx as well so we go on outings. I would also like to know the lineage before Brice.

      Have a great day! Terry
