They had a child, Ellison Williams on that year. It appears that Surry county would have been Rowan at that time, right? I could really use the services of a geneological expert to find tax or deed records for this very common name. We don't have a first name of the father, so it's going to be like finding a needle in a haystack! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
