Judy Marks Williams doesn’t have much time to find her brother. The 59-year-old Georgia woman is battling stage 4 lung cancer, which is now ravaging her entire body. Williams was the youngest of the seven children born to Nancy Doris Fletcher Marks and James Edward Marks. She was 2 when she and her two youngest brothers were taken from their Aragon, Georgia, home.

"Four of them stayed with a blood relative, and was raised by them, but they couldn't take all of us, so three of us got adopted out," she said. Marks and her then 5-year-old brother, Nathan, were adopted as a pair, but she doesn’t know what became of her other brother, William “Billy” David Marks. He was 8 and she was 3 the last time they saw each other in 1961.

She reconnected with her other siblings when she was 17, and the group remains “fairly close.” Billy remains the missing piece.

I found a David William Marks in an 1973 yearbook from Gardner Webb University. Kind of looks familiar...
