Hi Jerry, A very brief story about John and Martha Lowery Williams is on page 532 of Santa Rosa I. It does not mention a first wife. It simply begins with his marriage to Martha. It does give a few more items of information that might be helpful. Date of birth is specific, August 12, 1845. Date of death, February 19, 1931. Per the article, his full name was John Lafayette Williams. The submitter was Romi White of Milton. Romi's story pretty much follows the more extensive story of John Lafayette Williams found on page 220 of Pioneering in the Panhandle by William J. Wells. Per Mr. Wells, Theresa, their first child (March 8, 1880-January 19, 1955), married David Quinn Hurst. Maybe this helps some. The family seems to have been well researched and documented by so many of those who descend from the pioneers in south SRC. However, the first wife is not mentioned. Let me know if you need more on the children of John and Martha and who they married. I'll be happy to send it to you at your email address. Judy
