Surnames: Williams Chase Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iRB.2ACE/2824 Message Board Post: I'm a direct descendant of Lemuel Williams 1774-1861. The family moved to Livingston Co. about 1828. His second wife, Sarah, died in Livonia in 1858 and Lemuel Sr. died in Lakeville in 1861. Lemuel Williams was married in Greene Co. in the Coxsackie Reformed Church in Coxsackie, NY to Susanna Steenbergh (or Sternberg) on 23 Dec 1802. She apparently died and he married Sarah (Sally) Chase ( b.1788) on 07 Dec 1806. In New York Births and Baptisms, Southeast Region, 1660-1916, I found reference to baptisms at the Reformed Church of two children in the first marriage, William Augusta and Susan. At least nine more children are listed for the second marriage: Joseph, Eliza Ann, Susan, Lemuel Jr., Sarah Catherine, Abraham, Lucy Abigail, Caroline, and Martha. My direct ancestor, Abraham H. Williams, was born 12 Sept 1818. I'm seeking Lemuel and Sarah's parents. One researcher has identified Lemuel as the son of Rev. Warham Williams and Ann Hall. I am unable to verify. Census records state Lemuel was born in Connecticut. Are Williams descendents still living in Geneseo or Livonia? Thank you for any assistance. Judy Cook California
