Hi Shirley and Becky! I live in Lewisville, Texas and am also interested in any info yall might have. It is a difficult name to research because of all the spellings. I have some info I have gotten through relatives here in town and also a few over the web. Becky do you know who your GG grandfather was? The Tawwaters I am decended from are mostly here in Texas and also in Tennesse. But in addition, my GG grandfather is buried in Louisiana. There are alot more of us than I ever knew. I'll be looking forward to hearing from yall!

Hi Sandra and Susan...I've been offline for a while but back on now...have not gotten anymore info. on the ancestary of my maiden name Tawater...my grandmother was Hattie McIyntre which is Irish and now I am totally lost especially when the spelling of Tawater can get soOOoo diversified!! Tawater-Tywater-Tarwater-Towater-Tawwater-which is the First spelling of our family? How far back can it go? And are we really all related? Darn to those two guys that fought over the spelling of the name the very first time anyway. LOL! If ya'll get any info. please let me know,ok? (Brysaca@aol.com)
