    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RS.2ADE/70.319.1 Message Board Post: Carole, My grandmother said that she thought that Jane Williams Scott was a daughter of Steve Williams. Other researchers say his name was Stephen. The last census that Jane was listed on was the 1880 Marion County, AL census where she is listed as head of household, age 73, b. SC. Living in her household were two of her granddaughters, Martha Brumley, age 19 and Samantha M. Nichols, age 17. Samantha was married and her spouse William R. Nichols, age 21 is also listed with them. Samantha's name was Samantha Margaret and she was called Margaret. Martha and Samantha Margaret were daughters of Peter and Jane Scott's daughter Elizabeth who married David Brumley. Could Janes's father be Stephen Williams who is listed in the household of George W. Williams, 1850 Itawamba County, MS census. Stephen is listed on that census as age 77, born SC. Is he the same Stephen Williams who is buried at Tremont Methodist Church, Itawamba County, MS? Peter and Jane Scott lived in Marion County, AL near the Franklin County line. It's not very far from where they lived in the Single Springs Community over to Tremont, MS. Also, Franklin County, AL early land records list a Stephen Williams and a George W. Williams who lived near where Williams Sanctuary Church and cemetery are now located. This area is near the Single Springs Community. See these land records posted to Franklin County, GenWeb.
