I'm sure that the Mary Williams I have listed is a different one. And I still believe that this is James Williams, Jr.s wife, not a sister. I doubt that Elias and James were brothers, although I guess they could be. First names in these families are not similar, and James' family seemed to use the same names throughout the generations. He and his family moved to the Sandy Run area in 1833 from near Salley SC. Do you know of any brothers/sisters or parents of Elias Williams? I knew something was "fishy" when on 1850 and 1860 census he was listed not with his family but in a nearby family. Thanks for the info, Dennis
