Hi, My 2nd Great GrandFather was Wilson Williams ( that's the name he used) He lived in Fayette County Ga where he was a farmer and a contract ditch digger . He is said to have come from Alabama....Which part I couldn't say. In Alabama he Stabbed and killed an unfortunate man in a fight over a woman and fled the law and the state of Alabama into the state of Georgia to avoid hanging. He talked about it with his children freely but they are all passed away but to my disappointment, they never did talk about it except in a very limited way. Of course he most likely changed his name to stave off the bounty hunters and angry kin of the man he killed so I don't know where in Alabama he could have been, or for that matter...WHO.I of course want to find his line back...failing to find him at all , I decided to try to find mention of any similar murder in hopes of pinning down who committed it. Wilson was most likely born in 1846. I found a Murder that occurred in Chambers County Alabama, the town of Hickory Flat in the year of 1878, The victims name was JOHN CARLOS STRICKLAND (some of his ancestors found me) ...Seem that Mr. Strickland was STABBED TO DEATH IN A FIGHT OVER A WOMAN. But I cant find a name of a suspect, further more this town is located 7 to 9 miles from the Ga state line, which in my mind also added to this particular crimes possibility . THE PLOT THICKENS!!!........... Also in the very same county is a mysterious disappearance of a man who just one day dropped off the face of Chambers County and was never heard of again, His Name..... WILSON WILLIAM SANDERS.....just as added fodder, his mothers maiden name was Williams. A person also contacted me with that information but he show a 13 year difference in the birth of Wilson William Sanders in 1833 compared to Wilson Williams in 1846, est. According to Hospital Record Wilson Williams was 76 years old in 1922 when he died on Oct., 30 1922. How many Stabbing deaths in Alabama could have occurred in a fight over a woman? Wilson was married to Georganna Martin first, then Lillian Landers from Pike Co Ga. At least 2 of his 3 children were born in Alabama , My Great GrandPa , James Washington Williams in 1877 and then Daniel K. William in 1878, same year of the murder. But if he changed his name, that means theirs was changed too! If anyone can offer help on any similar crimes of passion in Alabama I would be very Grateful. Regards, Steven
