Nancy, I have some information on Hiram Gram Witten and Jane (Jenny) Laird primarily from the "Annals of Tazwell County". I have their 9 children and some of the grandchildren. Let me know if there is something specific you're looking for. My interest in the Witten's is for Jane Witten born ca1750 married to Solomon Stratton born ca1745. My gggg-grandparents. John
