    1. Re: [INLAWREN] "Williams" of Lawrence County
    2. There is a DNA projection going on trying to connect all the Williamses in parts of this country. I am descended from Isaac Williams who married Sally Guthrie and Mary Flinn Evans (not Captain Isaac Williams who lived near Williams, IN. ) My Isaac was born in NC in 1764 and died in Daviess County, IN in 1864. Some of his children stayed in Lawrence County. My grandfather, Charles Williams, Sr., who was the son of Riley Wiilliams and Minnie Rider, was raised in Tunnelton by his grandparents, John Guthrie Williams and his second wife named Margaret Box. (His blood grandmother was Amanda Newkirk, daughter of John Newkirk and Polly Proctor (daughter of Ezekiel Proctor and Nancy Carothers). I have always felt that it is possible that some of the other Williams' who lived in Lawrence County early on (1811-1820) could posssibly be related in some way. Nobody has been able to determine the parents of my Isaac Williams. One source said Margaret Crawford and Richard Williams, but there was no proof. We have one male Williams descendent in our family who has submitted DNA to this project. Are any other Williams interested? If so, I will get you in touch with the right people. It is possible that sometime in the past they did connect, who knows? Pat (Williams) Hunt
