Hi, I am descended from Simon Williams through John and Heneritta Johnson; John and Elisabeth Creek, Jacob and Elizabeth Gibbs, Lewis and Julia Ewing, my parents Herschel and Maud Welborn Williams. Many researchers of this family have led me to believe that Simon's wife was Mary "Polly" Bennett but we have never found a marriage, etc. There is a researcher in the Posey area working on Crabtrees but I can;t come up with her name right now. Jemina Williams, Simon's last child, married a Joshua Duncan Helen and Gene Keusch wrote: > Hi-- The spelling of Stuartsville is Stewartsville and it is just outside > Poseyville, to the NW (I think).
