    1. Re: Wondering if any other Williams/Self researchers ran into this along the way?
    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/an/hV.2ADE/2215.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Lon isn't Lorenzo, actually the name was Lorenza Dow "L.D." Williams he married Lizzie Hinson, I don't know why it says Hines. I wonder who this W.C. Williams is? I never have run across that name in anything. We have a lot of William's in the family but this is one I have never saw before. I was told by the JCHS Journals (someone did a look up for me) that Cordelia was also buried in Lamar Cemetery. It said she died in 1915. James Milton Williams was my Gr Gr Grandfather. You will also find his wife Zilpha marrying a man by the last name Smedley or Smelley (this in 1896), this marriage was preformed by I.N. Frazier. James listed himself as a "widow" in the 1900 census, but his wife did not die they divorced and he had the children in Bradley Co Ark. In abt 1910 you find Zilpha listed as Docia in James's home and they are back together. I don't know what happened to M.H. Smedley and I have never found him in any census's. It's like he just disappeared. William Vangilder, later became part of the family by marrying one of the Blackford girls. Martha Blackford was the sister of William S. Williams. Jordan Gillison Williams was also a brother of William and so was James. My Williams family went to Johnson Co in about 1878. Jordan married into the Garrett Family. Then there is also Ellen Sharp who was another sister, but I have found nothing on her and I can't find out what happened to them. Thank you again on looking this up for me. Kristen
