Robert Arnold

Mr. Arnold. Welcome to the site. I suggest that you join the Red River Parish Group. Read the latest information posted there and post your questions for those members to respond to. All of Red River Parish appears at this time to be within the boundaries of the HS play. I would caution about using the section-township-range description of your property. And please remember that we have 8,000 + members with many varying reasons for monitoring the site. As you have given a general location, I will get you started by stating the active fields in that general area: Bracky Branch in RR and Woodardville along the parish line with Bienville. Good Luck.

Hi,I am responding to your e-mail regarding the McWilliams and Social Springs. Actually, Virginia is my mother-in-law, but she is like a mother to me. I married Gary, her middle son. Mrs. Marie, Gary's Grandmother was also a precious lady. She died in my arms on the way to Coushatta to the hospital, after falling in her yard and getting a brain aneurism. She was shocked and brought back in Coushatta, sent to Shreveport, put on life support and only lived a few days.
Mr. Neil and Mrs. Lois were sweet, sweet people, too. Shane McWilliams and my son, Stephen are real good friends. I baby sat Shane and Casey when they were young.
My maiden name was Gay, before I married Gary and you probably know my brothers and sisters. I don't know how old you are, so I don't know which one would be closer to your age, but my sisters are Shirley Gay Francis, and Barbara Gay Carlisle and my brothers were Glen Gay, Charles ( Shorty ) Gay and Herman Gay.
I am going to give you Gary's e-mail address and he can answer most anything you want to know.

You are also welcome to e-mail me at

Trisha Giddens

Hi Mr. Arnold or perhaps John McWilliams. My name is Shane McWilliams. I was browsing around and found your conversation with Mrs. Trisha. My Grandfather was William Loraine McWilliams. My grandfather and Neil were brothers. I remember Uncle Neil or Uncle BO as we called him very well. He was quite the prankster. I inherited property that was part of the original McWilliams estate in the Social Springs Community. I have been keeping up with activity in the area for quite a while now. Feel free to contact me at any time. I might be able to answer your questions or if not I will try to find out whatever i can for you. Would like to hear from some family or friends of the family anyway. Contact me at psmcwilliams@bellsouth.net or mcwillilamsp@bossiercity.org Look forward t hearing from you.
