Hello all - William and Crissy Williams were in Gibson County from at least 1828, when son Daniel Williams was born, through 1849 when William assigned his property to brothers Jeremiah and Charles Williams, and moved to Des Moines Township, Van Buren County, Iowa, with married sons James, and Charles, and married daughters Nancy Connell and Polly Thetford, and their respective husbands M. Peter, and William. In addition, William and Crissy were accompanied by their minor children: Elizabeth, Franklin, John, and Sarah. Two sons, Daniel and William, and their respective families remained in Gibson County. Apparently William died early in the 1850's, as Crissy and three of the minor children, plus son Charles and his family, Polly and Wm Thetford and family, and the Nancy and Peter Connell family returned to Gibson County. The eldest son, James Williams, and his wife and children moved on west, and settled in Crescent, near Council Bluffs, Iowa. The 1860 Gibson County census shows Crissy, and her teen age daughter (Sarah) living with son Franklin and his wife Tabitha (Connell). By 1870, however, Franklin had died, and Sarah had married. Tabitha did not remarry until 1870. Crissy is no longer in the census (at least where I've looked) Given all the above, does anyone know anything about the Williams family, and specifically about Crissy Williams, Williams widow? Thanks for any related information Tom Davis
