Descendants of William London

Descendants of
William London

(Father of James Pinkney London)

***I have relatively recently uncovered a book by Opal London Cox.
Written in 1976, this book, available by subscription at
Ancestry.com seems to connect William London (born perhaps 1840) to 5-6 generations
of Londons further back!

*In memory of Harry W. London (1908-1991), and Earline Altman London (1908-2001).
My beloved grandparents!

Thank you Memo and Popper, for everything!

Please note: The preceding outline tree is derived from the Opal Cox London book, with some extrapolation, and assumption of correctness on my part. I have not been able to independently verify this as of this date (3/13/2005)...dlc

Also, the last 5 persons in the '7th' generation (Bud, Charlie, Roll, Wash, and Willie Elliott) are NOT from the Opal Cox book, but rather from previous information (the James P. London Bible). It is likely that Willie is William, the brother of J.P. London, but it has also been said that there was a sister of J.P. perhaps named Wilma who was called Willie...3/13/05 - dlc

Although this family line is one I'm most interested in, I have yet to really make a dent in the research of this genealogical line. Any help greatly appreciated!
