I am afraid I just have their names. I think that because of the commonness of Williams and J as a first name and C (Colden or Columbus or Chism) as a middle name that because the birth date does not fit with the Bible marriage date, it is unlikely that this Colden is a son of John and Sarah Chism. I do not begin to have all the Williams of this family in my database, but I have right off hand probably 15 J Williams (not all of whom could be the father, by the way). I do not have anything other than their names on James and John, sons of Uriah. The Martha J Pemberton found with this is Martha Jane Dougherty, wife of Stephen Pemberton. She was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Miles Dougherty (who were greatgrandparents of Guy Dougherty, my grandfather's brother). It seems reasonable to me that the Colden C Williams would have a closer connection to the Dougherty family than John C and Sarah Chism's son - though I do not have it readily at hand. (I think I need to do a lot more printing and saving before I can find anything) Carolyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elizabeth DuBois Russo" <elizabethrusso@attbi.com> To: <MOHOWARD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2002 8:31 AM Subject: Re: [MOHOWARD-L] Chism (and Williams) > At first blush, it would seem that Colden C. might be the son of John C. and > Sarah Chism.
