Hi I monitor the Pope Co AR web site and I saw your query on Williams from Walker Co, GA. I don't have a Williams in my family but I do have quite a lot of family from Walker Co, GA. My grandmother was Mattie Cumi Gasaway born in ca 1882 in Dardnelle, her parents had just migrated from Walker and Catoose Co, Ga probably. Mattie married Robert Mathew Huggins and they lived most of their married life on Pettit Jean Mountain, in Conway Co before moving in 1922 to Seminole Co, OK where my parents were married. They are Walter Clifford Huggins and Edithe Mae Bowerman who was married by a Preacher Williams in Seminole Co and I wonder if the Williams may have gone to Ok too. Besides Gasaway I have Bird, Brckey and Dunn who also came to AR and OK, some in Conway co stayed John Bird, some in Scott Co and some went to McCallaster, OK in Indian Territory. I have the Walker Co, GA Heritage book and it has quite a lot on the Williams line, back to migration from Wales, Rev War ties etc. Do you have all this information??

Jean, I have a lot of information on Lewis / Louis Williams who lived in Walker Co. His wife, Winnifred was also a Williams. An interesting fact about this couple is that both their fathers were named John Williams. Winnifred Williams' father was from Wales and Louis Williams father was from England. Both fathers were Revolutionary soldiers and were at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis to George Washington at Yorktown. I have tried to find more about the two John Williams but so far no luck. I would like to Know more about their war service and families. Louis was born November 29, 1785 in Virginia, birthdate from Louis' son's bible. Louis had a brother named Amos. Louis died in Walker Co in 1863. I have a copy of his will. His son, my ancestor, is John W. Williams, John's brother, Lewis H. Williams, born June 1, 1821 ( I believe) was the son who went to Scott Co., Arkansas. He gave an interview to a news paper " The Advance Reporter" in Waldron in Scott Co in 1907, talking about himself and his family. He is the one who told the story of the two John Williams & their war history. In 1907 he had two daughters living in Texas. I don't find any Huggins in Louis' family, He had a daughter, Martha, who married a Cooper, one named Rachel who married an A. :H. Dick, another daughter, named Elizabeth, who also married a T. A. Cooper, his sons, married into the Humphries, Fanin, Camp, Kirkland and others , names unknown to me. If you have a war record of a Williams from Wales, I would like to see it, maybe I can connect it to my John Williams.
