Dear List Members, last December I had posted my family names and received some great responses. Homer was very helpful giving me information on my Civil War relative. I was working on the Grand Review 2000 which was a very large Civil War project. Over the last few months I have kept up reading all the news but did not have the time to respond much. Now that the Grand Review is over, I have a private life again and can participate with the list. I have definitely learned a lot about Barbour County just by reading all your e-mails. I have never been to Eufaula, but feel like I know the area already thanks to the information you have shared. The last time I only had a chance to list my great-grandfather and his parents. But I will list all his siblings. Hopefully someone will recognize some of the names. My great-grandfather was Robert Holland Williams (1855-1932). He was the youngest of 12 children. His parents were John Williams (1811-1880) and MaryAnn McGee Williams (1813-1884). They were married 12-21-1832 and lived in Eufaula. I do not know where they were married. I do not know anything more about John Williams and it is possible that MaryAnn McGee Williams parents were Euphronia Clinton McGee (?? - 10-18-1837) and W. William McGee, Sr. (?? - 2-12-1835). I do not know if this has been verified. The 12 children were: Julia Lucretia Williams Sept.1833-1913 m. WFB Knight (died 1864) and then m. W.C. "Buck" Goolsby. Sarah Clementine Williams 1835-1862 m. R.R. Owens Mary Ann Williams Sept 1837-Oct. 1837 John Alfred Bivo Williams 1838-1882 Henry Williams 1841-1843 Thomas Ollie Williams 1843-1862 buried in Army cemetery in Atlanta, GA Mariah Ann "Mittie" Williams 1846-?? m. Andrew P Harris Mary Rebecca Williams Jan 1847-Feb. 1847 Josephine Elizabeth Williams 1849-1873 m. ?? Bell/Bealle James Edward Williams 1850-1931 m. Sapphronie Brown Isabell Williams 1853 Robert "Holland" Williams 1855-1932 m. Florence Matilda Kelly,. daughter of Nancy Sugar Jones Kelly and Joseph Wilson Kelly. Florence was born in Owensboro,Kentucky but her parents later moved to Evansville, Indiana. They Kellys moved to Florida in 1880. "Holland" and Florence met in Florida and married in 1881. John and Mary Ann McGee Williams moved to Plymouth, Florida after the Civil War (1873) and they lived there for many years. After John died, MaryAnn moved to Grand Cane, Lousiana. Some of her grown children also moved and settled there. I am descended from the line that stayed in Florida. I have a copy of a family booklet "R.H. Williams, Florida Pioneer" written by Clyde Williams Kelley and her daughter, Louise Kelley Frisbie. Clyde (female) was a sister to my grandmother, Vinnie Edna Williams. This booklet was written and given to family members at a family reunion that was held in the 1950's. It does not have a published or copyright date, but I do not feel I should post any information without written permission from Louise Frisbie. In the meantime, I can look up information for anyone that recognizes these names and wants more information regarding birthdates, marriage dates, etc. of those of the 12 siblings and their children. Some of the info in the book covers relatives that are now grown adults and still living. Due to the privacy issue, I will not give any information about them. The book has some interesting stories of things that happened to the family while they were living in Alabama, Florida and Lousiana. If anyone has more information on the Williams and McGees, I would be very happy to hear from you. I have tried researching the McGees in Barbour Co. and have not had any success yet. If you send any inquiries to me, I will be out of town for most of next week, so I won't be able to respond until after Aug. 22nd. Margaret Shuttlesworth
