Thanks, Diana On Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:00:40 EDT JudiSpencr@aol.com writes: I am descended from William Williams born abt 1720 Wales and his wife Ann Jones. they had a son Jeremiah born abt 1750 Wales died 1824 Giles Co Va who married Mary Garst. Jeremiah had a son Hugh born 1767 Montgomery now Giles Co Va died Nicholas Co 1853 married Jane Ann Bell. Hugh had a son William 1794 - 1869 who married Eliz. Jones. Any of this sound familiar to you. I have a cousin who has extensive material on the Williams Family. I will forward your note to her and see if she has anything. Judi Gas prices getting you down?
