This is a working theory, so please bear with me. I have no proof that Susan is who I believe her to be. I believe that Susan Rupe Turner was the daughter of Elizabeth Rupe and James Turner who were married in Howard County, Missouri on the 15th of September 1813. I have her listed as the second child, born 25 Dec 1817. I suspect the date of birth I have for her was the same source Elizabeth mentioned below. She also stated that Willoughby and Susan were buried at the Walnut Ridge Cemetery in Howard county, but I found no mention of it in the Howard County Cemetery Book. Her's her death notice. From "The Higbee News" dated 16 Feb 1900--Mrs. Susan Rupe Williams, one of the oldest citizens of Howard county, died at her home in Fayette, Monday, aged 82 years. (Note, since the paper was printed on Friday, this gives us a date and place of death for this lady.). Susan named a son James Turner Williams. She also named a daughter Elizabeth T. Williams. Elizabeth Turner perhaps?

Here's a Saline County Dennis question. I was just in Marshall, MO where I finally got around to looking at one of the two largest monuments found in the cemetery there--a Confederate soldier atop a horse with the name "Dennis" inscribed at the base. The monument is larger than life size and is really impressive--of the type you'd find in a park in Washington, DC or similar places. I didn't copy down the names, but several markers surrounding the monument listed names of folks born in Kentucky who came to Marshall around 1868. There was a John Dennis of Marshall also buried there who died I think within the last decade. Are you familiar with these folks? Elizabeth (I grew up in Marshall and have always admired the monument without ever before wondering who it was for...) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Lane" <sbowen2@midsouth.rr.com> To: <MOHOWARD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 8:17 PM Subject: [MOHOWARD-L] Dennis > I saw someone with the Dennis name.

I thank all the non-Williams' researchers out there for their patience. But I bet if we look hard enough we'll find you all connected within those six degrees of separation. Then the whole list membership should come to the Williams-Thompson reunion I'm gonna cook up for Howard County next year. Meanwhile, in the interest of finding sources and setting the record straight, I have questions of Carolyn and "FergyJR" (sorry I don't have your name...): Carolyn, you have a middle name for Colden's son Uriah being "Melton". Do you have a source for this? The records I've seen so far just have Uriah without a middle name or initial. And Louise Coutts gave me a list of corrections for my group sheet, saying it should be "Milton". You also have a middle name of Calhoun for Colden's son John. Source? I've just seen the middle initial "C." FergyJR, you have specific birth dates for all of Colden's children, and you have some children who do not appear in census records or elsewhere that I've seen yet. Do you have Bible records? Or some other sources? I'm dying to know this, as you seem to have so much detailed information. Maybe LDS records? Or Ancestry.com or similar place? I've been picking so much on these Williams and Thompson lines because I've seen a lot of varying data while researching at the DAR and I'm really trying to set the record straight without throwing out everything that I can't verify with the records I have. Your help is so appreciated even if the answer is "I have NO idea where I got that!<g>" (I've certainly had to admit that a bit more often than I'd like...)

Kathy and Carolyn, note that the Nancy Kathy found was born in Kentucky; the one Carolyn found was born in SC. Recall that Colden is found in the Lancaster District, SC 1800 census. Would it not be possible that these women you each found are one and the same, with birth date wrong on Carolyn's and place of birth wrong on the one you found? I keep remembering that one of my ancestors was said to have been four different ages, born in four different states given four different census records...

I have from the DAR application of Patricia Ann Turnage that Susan Rupe married first a Turner, then as a widow married Willoughby Williams. I have from the archives FergyJR giving Susannah/Susan's birth as 25 December 1817 (source?), making her just shy of her 17th birthday at the date of her marriage to Willoughby.

Could he be a nephew or great-nephew of Colden Williams? A descendant of a brother, perhaps?

Williams, 9 year old white male born in Missouri. Nancy Williams, 33 year old white female born in Missouri. In the History of Randolph County, MO, page 575 it states the following on James M. Williams: James M. Williams (Senior Member of the Firm of Williams & Grant, Proprietors of the Renick Milling Company) Mr. Williams is a native of Howard county, Mo., and was born June 20, 1842. His father, Wiloby Williams, a native of Kentucky, came to Howard county, dying while the subject of this sketch was still a child. His mother, formerly Miss Nancy Hardin, was a Missourian. James M. spent his boyhood on the parental farm and was educated in the common schools of the neighborhood. In 1861, at the age of 20, he removed to Randolph county and resolved to become a follower in the footsteps of Tubal Cain; this worthy ambition, however, was nipped in the bud, for in the fall of the same year, hearing on all side the call, To arms! his youthful spirit was fired by the sound and he rushed forth to taste the fierce joys of war. He enlisted in the Confederate service with Gen. Clark's regiment of infantry and served two years. He was a participant in the battles of Lexington, Mo., Pea Ridge, Ark., and a number of smaller engagements. In the fall of 1863 he left the army and worked at his trade for six months in St. Louis, then returned to Renick, where he now resides, and pursued his honest calling, blacksmithing, for 10 years. In the spring of 1876 he went into partnership with Mr. Grant in the flouring mill and harness-making business. They also have a new brick carriage and wagon factory, and beside are engaged in buying and shipping grain. They have been very successful, shipping some years as many as 30,000 bushels of grain. Mr. Williams is an enterprising, thorough business man, and owes his prosperity in life to his own industry, energy and tact. It was in March, 1864, the first year of his return to Renick, that Mr. Williams was married, ! in Randolph county (where he was both reared and educated), to Miss Sarah M., daughter of James Martin, of the same county. There was born of this union but one child, Ethlyn. Mr. W. is identified with the Democratic party, and in the fall of 1880 was elected collector of the county and served one term. Mr. and Mrs. Williams are members of the Christian Church, and Mr. W. is a member of the A.O.U.W. Kathy

Anyone got access to the microfilm?) Her son Franklin has a very colorful history. See below. From an article in Historical and Biographical Record, page 322 (State of California and Biographical Record of the Sacramento Valley, CA, written by Prof. J. M. Guinn, published 1906) "In Johnson county, Kansas, occured the marriage of Luther Hoy and Miss Lucella Brown. Their union resulted in eight children, five of whom are living, namely: Mrs. Fannie Mendenhall, a widow residing in Colusa county; May, Robert, Birdie and Willard, all of whom are at home. Mrs. Hoy was born in Platte county, Mo, a daughter of Francis Drake and Frances (Tolson) Brown natives of Randolph county, MO. Her father who was born December 1, 1823 passed the days of boyhood and youth in his native locality. During 1846 he walked to Council Bluffs and there entered into an agreement with Buffalo Jones, by which he took charge of an ox-team across the plains. Three weeks after he crossed the mountains the ill-fated Donner party met their death. With Colonel Fremont, who had charge of the expedition, he served in california one hundred and thirty-eight days. Kit Carson thereupon desired to engage him to serve as escort to Gen. Philip Keaney in returning east, but the trying life of the plains and the hardships of soldiering did not appeal to him, and he refused the offer. However, after a short time in the Sacramento valley he decided to return east. Through the influence of Governor Boggs and Major Connor he was made guide to Commodore Stockton and Lieutenant Gillespie in their trip across the plains to St. Joseph, MO. The saddest sight he ever saw was during the return trip, when he came upon the remains of the Donner camp, where dead bodies still remained from which the flesh had been cut away to be eaten. At the present site of Reno fifteen hundred Indians attacked the white men, but were driven back, although the party continued to be annoyed by the savages until they passed the Humboldt. During his visit in Missouri he married Miss Frances Tolson, and after returning to California in 1849 he spent a short time in Sacramento, and then went to Bencia where he was chosen the first sheriff of Solano county. After a short experience in the mines, in 1852 Mr. Brown returned east with $16,000 and this money he invested in Missouri farm land. Later he removed to Kansas and in 1871 returned to California, where he spent two years in Colusa county. On his return east in 1873 he assumed the management of his extensive properties in that state, but in 1877 sold his holding and came back to California. For years he owned a farm of eight hundred and eight acres in Central district Colusa county. In 1901 he was bereaved by the death of his wife and two years later he passed away at Williams. Their children were named as follows: Thomas, who died in Bencia at two years of age, Stephen C. who makes his home near Berlin, Colusa Co., W. T. a farmer near Williams, Luella, wife of Luther Hoy, Charles, who died at twenty four years; Samuel D. of Colusa County; Belle, who died at seven years; Birdie, living at Williams; Mrs. Ada Vertue of Williams, and Fannie, who was seven years of age at the time of her death.

Nancy Williams born Oct 3, 1800 in SC, died Mar 13, 1895 married Josiah Brown b 1797 Madison Co., KY, died Dec 9, 1870 Clinton Co., MO married 1817 Howard Co., MO. She was the daughter of Colden C. Williams and Mary Short. Excerpt from Revolutionary Soldier Samuel Brown, page 62 it states: "The obituary of Nancy stated that she was born in South Carolina in 1800, and married Josiah in 1817 in Missouri. Since Nancy's father, Colden Williams, was a Baptist minister, and was one of the founders of the Mount Pleasant and Mt. Zion Baptist Churches in Howard County, Missouri, it is possible that he could have been the minister who married them. Samuel Brown II, Josiah's father, was mentioned as one of the early members of the Mount Pleasant Church."

Hi Patrick, I do believe we have a match ... yahoo!! Altho it is a distant one. But perhaps we can still exchange something the other doesn't have.

Back to him and his progeny for a moment. I found on the 1850 Howard Co census what MAY be his daughter Nancy who married Joseph Brown. Looking for confirmation/denial. On the first page, surrounded by 3 other Brown families was this: Brown, Nancy, 57, f, KY Susan, 24, f, MO Ann, 22, f, MO Davidella, 20, f, MO Adaline, 16, f, MO The age is approximately right (my info has Nancy Williams born in 1800 in KY) and they married before 1832. (This puts the marriage by 1825 or so.) Comments? Carolyn

Hi, I'm Lynne in OK ... and have been lurking on the sidelines for several weeks reading all these wonderful chit chats back and forth about the Williams .. and just wanted to say I've enjoyed it, but am sure envious of you all. Anyone new out there working on Reynolds, Jackson, Campbell, Dennis, Feland, Gooch, Page, Sweeny, Withers, King, Parker or Robb from Howard Co.? I have several cousins and we'd all love to swap info with you if so ... LOL. The Reynolds, Jackson's and Feland's arrived at the turn of the 18th century from Kentucky and all but Feland's remained there for several generations. Thanks guys ... great list and guess I'll just be happy to sit on the sidelines and enjoy other's success. God Bless America ! Lynne :-)

Beth is a dear!!!! Carolyn
