Posted on: Jefferson County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Jefferson/10449 Surname: Williams ------------------------- I am aware of Peter Williams, he ia an ancestor of my mothers maternal family. Seburn is an ancestor of my mother's paternal family. I've often wondered if they and all the Williams who came in to share with the land grant given to Francis Wideman are kin. I know Seburn came from GA (So stated by his son in the 1860 census). I also believe Seburn settle near the Meremac River, somewhere near Pevely and that would have excluded him from any of Francis' grant which required them to travel at least 15 miles in land. I have found several Seburn Williams from the south but none I could pinpoint as mine. He is reported to have first married a Rachel Ogle. Hopefully with further research we can sort them all out. Thanks for your response. Darlene
