In the 1850s there was a tailor living in Spring Place, Ga in Murray County by the name of John H. Williams. There was a tanyard that was sold to a Henry Williams. I will search my books further and try to find more. Good luck. James Childers of Murray Co. Leslie Riney wrote: > Hi > > My name is Leslie Riney and I am from Cape Girardeau, MO. We are having a family reunion tomorrow and I have just been online and looking for any information that I can find on my ancestors. My great, great grandfather lived in Murray Co. So far I have not found any information on him and great, great grandma. Should you ever find anything, I would appreciate it if you'd pass it on to me. All I currently know is that his name was John Williams and her name was Margaret Williams. They had a son named J. R. Williams who moved to Illinois when he was 18 and married Mary Whirlow in 1881. So I guess I'm looking for them being in Murray Co. somewhere around 1863 and before. I have searched the cemetaries so far and found nothing. I did find some Williams' and I suppose they could be related, although I don't know for sure. I do not know if John or Margaret had brothers and sisters, nor do I know yet, what Margaret's maiden name was. I am going to continue to try and tr! ac! > k down any Williams' that I can find online and make contact. Maybe someone, somewhere recognizes these names. If you know of any Williams' still in that area, who may be interested and who may want to contact me, please do print this out and give them my email address...Anything would be greatly appreciated, for I am trying to find out where this side of the family originated from...Also, if you know who compiled the cemetary lists...they did a wonderful job!!! The music was most enjoyable while I searched... > > ==== GAMURRAY Mailing List ==== > --- Author Retains Copyright --- > -- Copyright 2001 Author -- All Rights Reserved > Post to List: GAMURRAY-L@rootsweb.com http://www.selfroots.com > Unsubscribe request To: GAMURRAY-L-request@rootsweb.com > ARCHIVES: http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
