Hello, I don't have the answer to your first question, but would like to hear what you find out about the: > Question: Is Nathaniel Williams, the surety, the father or the > brother of John Williams? Regarding the son, Duke, mentioned in the will: I have a Duke WILLIAMS without parents b. 1802 in GA and but doubt that he is the person mentioned in that will. About your question: > Who are the parents of Azariah Graves? From what I understand, a good source for the Graves, including Azariah GRAVES would be a site I have used as a source for that surname. 1. Various, Website: Graves Family Organization (Electronic; ), http://www.gravesfa.org and http://www.gravesfa.org/gen169.htm." +719. Azariah Graves, b. 29 Oct. 1768, m. Elizabeth Williams, 3 June 1790, d. 1 March 1850." I have his parents as John Graves and Isabella Lea and believe you can extend that back a few generations from the GRAVES site, or I'd be glad to share what I've compiled. Elizabeth [Betsey] WILLIAMSON WILLIAMS is supposedly a 3rd Great Aunt, daughter of Martha Jones who is my 4th Great Grandmother (from her 2nd marriage to Thomas NANCE). I am very interested in connecting all of these people who seem to be related to Martha JONES and her husbands AND to find her ancestry. Regards, K.
