Hello Everyone, I'm brand new to the list, this being my first posting. I am in hopes that someone has information on the following families and will be able to help me: Jesse WILLIAMS, b: ca:1785, md. 1805 (Marlboro Co) Nancy RAYFIELD. (Undocumented by me), Jesse died 1849, Fayette Co, OH. Was Jesse born in Guilford Co, NC? MD? There is a Mary WILLIAMS listed on Marlboro Co's Tax & Voter's List, 1819 and in Vol. I of Marlboro Co Wills, 1787-1853, Vol. I, Sec. A, pg. 207. Does anyone have any information on this Mary? Was she the mother of Jesse? Other information I've found is on an Eli WILLIS (believe he was the Elic WILLIS, b: MD, 1785) who married Nancy Bennett. They had a son, Milby Willis (Eli/Elic also had a brother, Milby, who was born in 1768, MD.) I'm trying to determine if the Marlboro WILLIS family is truly the same as the MD one (I believe that it is.) Most of the MD families that I've researched who went to the Marlboro Co, SC area settled at Gum Swamp, near the Little Pee Dee, just over the NC border. Some of these families became Quakers, but some did not. I do not believe the WILLIAMS and WILLIS families became Quakers. Does anyone know if these WILLIAMS and WILLIS families lived around this area? Thank you. Marsha IL
