I am new to this list and decided to go on a wide goose chase with a family brick wall.  If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.  The family genealogy that I have was printed in book form in 1931.  The following is the introduction to the family printed in the book on the opening page.        JOHN WILLIAMS AND THANKFUL BARLOW              HISTORICALLY        In the days when this new world was being settled, John Williams, of Wilhelm, Holland, came to America to found a home, he having recently been married to Miss Thankful Barlow.         His wife followed later in a vessel which was more than three months in crossing the ocean, and finally tacked into BEAUFORT HARBOR, SOUTH CAROLINA, and anchored  so near the shore that the passengers could see John Williams on the meadow gathering salt hay with an ox team, earnestly gazing at the ship.        During the voyage a son had been born, May 12, 1756. His name was Barlow  Williams.  Seven weeks later the ship arrived in Beaufort Harbor as stated above.  The mother held her son at arms' length for the father to see.        The writer would not be surprised to learn that this same Barlow Williams was in some way connected with the founding of the colony of the Rev. George Whitefield, in Georgia.         After a time John Williams, with his family, moved to Cape May, and thence onto "Maurice River Neck," now Heislerville, New Jersey, where many of this descendants are living to this day. (1931)               There seems to be no record of Hannah and Andrew, supposed to be brother and sister of Barlow, the son of John and Thankful (Barlow)Williams.        Barlow Williams married Mehetable Carll 1776 in Heislerville, New Jersey              children              Susanna              Ariel              Whitefield              Elizabeth Carll              Thankful              Andrew              Abi              Mehetable        Susanna Williams married David Taylor August 21, 1798        children were              Whitefield W.              Thankful              Hannah        David and Susanna Taylor are my direct line.  David and Susanna are my road block or brick wall.         Is there anyone on this list who is researching the Williams family that moved onto New Jersey or some of the Williams family that stayed on in South Carolina?        Can you help me make any family connections between the Williams and Taylors  that may open up this brick wall on David and Susanna?        All research in New Jersey has been exhausted by 8 Taylor descendants living in PA, New Jersey, and Florida.  Cape May Historical Society, Cumberland County Historical Society and several universities in New Jersey have been exhausted in searching for further information about this family.        Any help would be greatly appreciated.        Sharon        Shadonkd35@aol.com        University of America est. in 1776
