We have a member of the Williams family from Cincinnati who went to Minnesota. A son of John Fletcher Williams possibly. In the family records he is known as Louis Williams. There are many problems. One place he is listed as born in Ohio. In another Kentucky. After he leaves home, he lists his parents as both born in Germany and his birthplace as Ohio. He was born supposedly June 1856. John Fletcher Williams was married to Catherine Roberts in 1857-September in Minnesota. We can not find any other marriages and letters we have found to one of his brothers mentions nothing about a pregnancy or marriage. He seems to have left Ohio in 1856.Another possible can of worms is that Louis's name could have been Luther-but Luther Williams or Luther and another last name. This comes from two letters from Margaret Troutner Williams-John Fletcher Williams' mother and she also mentions that he has been alone most of his life. The The Samuel Williams lived in the area close to the German Orphanage in Cincinnati and we have also checked the possibility of it being one of two servant girls who lived in the home around this time and have met a dead end on both. Unfortunately, even though John Fletcher Williams was a wonderful family genealogist, he leaves us absolutely no clues. He may have intended to leave information but had a stroke and then died of softening of the brain which we think was Alzheimer's. Can someone tell me where to look? I have hunted for every possible solution to this particular one with no results to present. Thank you. Pat Morano
