That is another James Williams. He was apparently in Red Level all his life. "My" J.W. (Jim) Williams was listed in the 1870 census living next to James English and James English, Jr. There were several Williams families living in the Rose Hill area in 1860. One even had a son named James W. but he was only 3 years old in 1860. And they had moved by 1870. The only James W. Williams I have found that fits the age was in Pike Co. in 1850 and in Butler Co. in 1860. Can't find that family after that. A teenage Jim Williams fathered two daughters by James English's daughter, Rebecca. One of them was my grandmother. Thanks for your help. Fran
