Well, I've been corresponding with Vicki Kirksey and she has informed me a great deal about our family. She appears to have quite a bit of pictures and actual deed records from the land William lived on. It appears that Byers and Rowan (two men who bought and sold a lot of land) tried to get everything they could from William in one of their mortgages with him. It's hard not to get mad at them (after all, they are hurting family!), but William entered into the deal, and that's just what happens sometimes. I imagine that may be the reason they decided to leave Alabama (assuming that's what happened) since they had little to nothing to keep them in Alabama!
Vicki has also invited me to go see the land they lived on! This is just like the show "Who Do You Think You Are!"
