> who was william married to? He married Elizabeth Lay, probably about 1822 in Claiborne County. She was the daughter of David Lay and Mary Lay, who lived in the Big Valley area of Claiborne County (now Union County), which was the valley for Lost Creek that flowed into the Clinch River. Now it's mostly under Norris Lake. I don't know who Silas Williams was married to. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Steven Gillispie" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, April 10, 2005 4:35 PM > Subject: Re: [TNCLAIBO-L] Williams/Weaver manumission, 1845 > > >>> How are you related to Silas? >> >> I don't know that I am.
