My mother-in-law Cynthia Barton Nash's grandfather was Quitman William or William Quitman Tew. She found it interesting when she saw the name Synthia (Cindy) in this article, as her cousin and her sister (Pam Selden) and (Debbie McDonald) respectively have been searching for information about the family. If anyone has any further information along this family line please email or post message.
Thank you,
Kelli Nash/Cindy Nash

It is interesting that William's name is also Quitman. Pearl Lenora Tew Stark was born in Clark County, Quitman, Miss.

She authored the book with the info on her family in it. It has poems and recollections of her life. From page 19 in the book:

"The entrance hall is filled by grandmother, books she has cherished thru the years line a wall. The blue china plate-- that grandmother's sister Synthia (Cindy) had given her for an anniversary gift, hung so pretty above a table, on which is a blue vase, always filled with flowers."

Pearl had no children.

She mentons a niece Sarah Nell.
Hope this will be of some help.
