Hi Sheri, According to the book "The Williams Families of New Jersey, (Descendants of Matthew Williams of Wethersfield, CT)" by Lyle Keith Williams, 1998, your Williams line is as follows: Matthew Williams m 1) Elizabeth Conant/Condit (or unknown wife) and had 3 possible children, including b. c. 1630 Thomas. Matthew m. 2) Susannah Cole, they had 5 proven children. Thomas b. c 1630 m. Rebecca Waterhouse. Thomas died 2/5/1692, Wethersfield, CT. They had 10 children, among them Samuel b. 6/11/1659 Wethersfield, CT. Samuel, b. 6/11/1659 had 2 children. Miles b. 1696 and Jonathan (dy). Miles, b. 1696, m. 10/9/1720 Phebe __ . Miles d. 10/27/1747 Westfield, Essex Co., NJ and is buried at the Presbyterian churchyard there. They had 5 kids, among them John b. 1722. John b. 1722 in Elizabeth m. Rachel __ b. c 1731 d. 2/19/1794. John d. 4/11/1782 Westfield. 10 kids, among them Henry. Henry m. 1) 3/13/1780 in Westfield, Lydia Yeomans and m. 2) Elizabeth Scudder. Henry d. 1808. 4 kids by Lydia, among them Lydia bp. 1/23/1791 at the Presbyterian church at Westfield. There is some controversy in this line as to whether Thomas is a son of Matthew, and the wives and children of Samuel. It is pretty far from my own, so I really don't know. The Williams book says Hist. of Wethersfield supports Thomas as son and has a whole appendix on it. Samuel seems to get confused with another Samuel, and children and wives frequently attributed to him are really the other Samuel's. The keeper of the database is Fred Williams at [email protected] and I'd suggest contacting him for further info. I am interested in your Ross lineage - would you be so kind as to tell me what it is? hope this helps, Kathleen Pantano >From: Sheri Iamele <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: [NJUNION] Henry Williams >Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2000 07:13:19 -0500 > > Lydia Williams was born in 1791 probably in Unioin County, NJ.
