Thank you Curtis, Many people through the years ahve asked me of a Mary L. Williams. It seems that one of my ancestors married a Mary L. Williams and they had a son William H. Christmas and then there was a divorce or something because the next wife's father disowned her when she married Thomas. I have necer been able to locate Mary. I wonder if she revcerted back to her maden name. If not I now have an answer for them as to where they might find Mary L. Williams. I am going to be in the Warrenton area in late September and would love to have some suggestions as to where I might find old cemeteries and houses to look at. Ginger L. Christmas-Beattie
