Hi Alonza Davis (son of Hector and Tabitha McKoy) and Adline Pyatt were my great grandparents . I am trying to find more information about Alonza Davis and Adeline Pyatt . Hector McKoy and Tabitha McKoy. Have you found any additional information about them in particular? Thanks
My focus is on Wilson County families. Unless they moved to Wilson, I’m unlikely to encounter them in my research. I’ll keep an eye out though! Thanks for visiting Black Wide Awake!
