Posted on: Searcy County, Ar Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Searcy/11501 Surname: Williams, Wright, Campbell, Arnold, Mathis, Polk ------------------------- Janie, I have always heard the M was for McKinley but have not proven that as I haven't seen it written anywhere. Wm is a tough one as is his father who is supposedly Thomas W? Williams b 1815 TN. I haven't placed either in Searcy co. I haven't been able to investigate much. Searcy Co has a great library at Marshall and a very good genealogy section but tho I was there earlier this year didn't get do all I would like to have done. T W Williams and Susan were married in 1848 probably TN, and are buried in Dardenell in Mt Zion Cem in Yell Co. I believe that is just over the Pope Co line. Susan died in 1895 and Thomas in 1917. His tombstone says he was born in Tn don't know the county. Have no idea who his parents or siblings are. Don't know any of William's siblings either at this time. Sorry..But you could be right, possibly related.

I don't know his birthdate but he died in 1894 and is supposedly buried in Dardenelle in Yell Co. along with his parents T W and Susan Wright Williams. We think our Williams people came to Searcy Co after 1880. William and Harriet were married in Hickman Co Tn in 1872. Thats about all I know about them. Harriet later married James M Scott abt 1897 or 98 and are found in the 1910 Searcy Co census, Calf Creek Twp. Were your Williams family from TN?
