Thank you for your interest. Since not everyone has access to ancestry, we slightly favor Family Search links, but we do not accept links to family trees, only documents. There is too much trust in uncited family trees on Wikitree, especially with this family, because an over-zealous person named W John Slayton published books with complete made-up "data" along with some good work, and ancestry trees are corrupted with that since about 1999. I saw the actual record (record of the record) in Georgia Archives.
