Williams (it's not a very good picture but I have one). His name was Thomas J. Williams and he was in fact James Caldwell Williams's son with this Swing lady. Thomas J. Williams was born Jan 15 1887. I am not in James C. Williams's direct line but my gr gr gr grandfather was James's brother, William Stephen Williams of Lamar Twp. I do not really know much about Thomas because I just recently found out about him. Serilda (Marvel) Williams, Francis Marion's mother, even admits in the 1900 census this child is not hers. I know that Frank (Francis Marion) raised Thomas after James C. Williams died in 1897. I am also related to the Marvel family and a bunch of other's down there. I was also told that Thomas's mother was Cherokee, so it's a good possiblity she was. Serilda (Francis Marion's mother, and James Preston's mother) was not a Cherokee, I am of her line of Marvel's in a couple of ways. Her mother; we believe, was Rutha Jordan, daughter of Francis Jordan and Hester Boren. I am also related to her by her brother James Aaron Marvel, he was one of my gr gr gr grandfathers. I have a whole website on what I have if you want to look at it. http://williamsgenealogy.net Kristen mickeysmile440@comcast.net
