Please forgive me if I make mistakes!

Just trying to figure out the Vinson Family and trying to get everybody connected. My dad and I happened to jump into the Trent Cemetery on Crabtree Mountain Rt 37 in Wayne County WV. looking for the Vinson Cemetery at Ft Gay.. I transferred to Faye and Dan Francis. They are really quick with edits. I also transferred Memorials to Susan of the Logan County memorials. She is good also. I just want memorials that are personal family members. You are welcome to my photos. I will gladly transfer your Loved Ones!

Mission accomplished on Vinson Family. Special thanks to Lisa Vinson-Arvantis granddaughter of Simon Peter, son of Curtis Eugene Vinson.

Also thanks to Patricia Hayes-Vinson wife of Doyle Vinson of Norman, OK.
