Surnames: Williams West Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mAB.2ACE/1209.1236.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Here are the children I have listed for James Williams and Nancy West Williams: Jesse Williams Mary "Polly" Williams Price b. Sept. 5, 1796 in Ky d. 1854 in Wayne Co. IL buried Lucust Grove Cem. Wayne County m. Gillison Price Jan. 5, 1817 in Christian Co. KY Stephen Williams b. June 5, 1798 in Ky d. Jan 28, 1884 in Christian Co. KY. m. July 22, 1825 in Todd Co. Ky to Jane Williams Henderson m. October 4, 1855 to Lucy Elizabeth Spurlin. (I also have lots of info about the following children and will send it if you need it, just didn't want to write it all out if you don't need it. In addition I have info about spouses and the children of all of these children except for Jesse if you need it) Amos Williams Nancy B. Williams Miller Malinda Williams Henderson James Williams Jr. Louisa Williams Mann Iva Williams Meacham Alvin Williams Elizabeth "Betsy" Williams Edwards Warren Williams

Sure if you could pass it along I would appreciate it. With Jesse moving when he was somewhat of a young man this would explain why no one has information on him. He didn't marry in KY he married in IN but the person he married Nancy Caldwell, she was from Warren County KY, which I know is close and was also a part of Logan County at one time as well. You must have much more information on the children of James then I do, I did not have all of their birth dates only years they were born. Well some I had but, I did not have an exact birthday for Mary "Polly" Williams Price. I know she was buried in Lucust Grove next to Gillison, however her headstone only says her birth year. Also a bit of information I do know about Jesse is the fact he named his youngest son Jordan Gillison Williams, the names of his other sons were: William Stephen Williams and James Caldwell Williams (James Caldwell was the name of Nancy's father & the name Jordan was the last name of Nancy's mother Susannah Jordan Caldwell), before I found the James Williams family I never knew where the name "Stephen" came from no other person in our family has that exact name. So as you can see this seems to be the most likely family for my Jesse Williams to fit into. He seems to have named his children even a couple of the female children in his family after family members that also match James daughters names. They were Martha, Mary "Polly", Sarah Jane, and Ellen "Nellie". I know the last 2 are named for sisters of Nancy Caldwell Williams. Job Calvin was the overseer of the Poor in Posey County Indiana, that job then went to Gillison Price. Jesse Williams is listed as being the overseer of the roads in Posey County. Members of the Primitive Baptist Church in Wayne County Illinois list the last names of members being that of: Calvin, Williams, Price, Caldwell, Jordan, and Meeks (the Meeks family was another that moved from SC>KY>IN>ILL). These members were not all members of the same church but they were members of this denomination of Primitive Baptist in Wayne County. Jesse & Nancy Williams and Gillison & Polly Price all lived in Mt. Erie Illinois. Some of the church members in the other segment I sent you about Providence Church were members of Long Prairie Church & were released to start the Providence Church. Anything you can give me to help me on this will be appreciated. I mean I have no proof they are in fact related but there are many signs that point this way. Kristen mickeysmile440@comcast.net
