Charlie France/Willie Mae (Washburn) France

Hi!! I'm Pete Collyge, Dallas, TX. I'm seeking information, relatives/descendents etc. of Charlie and Willie Mae France who lived vic. Newport, TN in the early 1800s. They apparently had 8 children, one of whom may have been named for his father but later changed his last name to Collyge but kept "France" as his middle name. He was my great-grandfather. I'd truly appreciate your assistance in this search. Our family has been researching Charlie Collyge's ancestry/roots for many years to no avail. Please contact me at pcollyge@yahoo.com or thecollyges@msn.com. Thank you. Pete Collyge
