HENRY WILLIAMS was the son of EDWARD WILLIAMS and SUSANNA GATES. This couple migrated from Athens County, OH to Clark Co., MO between 1844 and 1847. They were living in Decatur County when their twins, Elizabeth and Thomas, were born on 2 November 1855. In 1859 they were back in Clark Co., only to return to Decatur County a few years later. They resided there until their deaths in 1898. Both are buried in the Wheelis Cemetery in Richland Twp. Henry's wife was Mary Elizabeth Wheelis. I have a little more information on this family if anyone is interested. SUSANNA GATES WILLIAMS is likely the sister of my g-g-g grandfather RUFUS GATES.
