WILLIAM A. LONDON, a leading livery man of Lewisburg, Marshall Co., Tenn.,
is a son of Nathan B. and Cynthia A. (McConnell) London, who were born,
reared and married in Marshall County. The father was a successful farmer,
and served a short time in the late war, under Forrest. He was a Democrat,
and died in 1869. His widow married Pervines Fox, Jr., by whom she has two
children. Our subject was one of nine children, and was born November 23,

comfortable competencies. He also, in connection with McAdams & Sons, has
done an extensive business in buying and selling horses and mules. In 1878
he wedded Mary E. Braly, by whom he has two daughters. Both Mr. and Mrs.
London are members of the Christian Church. In politics our subject is a
