hELLO: Saw in the newspaper where Covington County Genealogical Society is trying to get information together on Williamsburg. I have copy of an old ad in the Simpson County newspaper where my GG Grandfather back in the 1800′s placed an ad for his blacksmith shop. Will be glad to send a copy to you if it will help. Vivian
