Martha Ann (Sumrall) Slay is my maternal 5th great aunt. I'm trying to sort out her sons named William. She has these connected:

William Beatty Slay

William Sidney Slay

William B Slay

William Carney Slay

I seriously doubt she had four sons named William. However, her Find-a-Grave page does list William Carney Slay and William Sidney Slay:

None of their Geni profiles have any notes in them, but I did just add a link to Martha'a FInd-a-Grave page in her profile.

So my question to the profile managers is, is there any documentation proving there were four sons named William as connected here on Geni or are some of these misconnected?

Thanks in advance for any documentation / clarification / correction

I'm going to Google just one or two of the sons due to tracing the lines of some DNA matches. If I find additional info, I'll post to the respective profiles, such as I just came across a site with a photo of William Sidney Slay that I'll add.
