    1. Winslow TURNER , Jr. & Mary Elizabeth WILLIAMS of TEXAS 1828 DeWitt Colony
    2. SHERYL WILLIAMS

    3. Hello to all, I have been researching my paternal Williams Line and could use some insight into the early settlers of DeWitt Colony, TX and how they connect to one another. I have tried hard to gather as much as possible but could use a boost over this "brick wall". My grgrgrgrgrandmother was Mary Elizabeth Williams, a widow with two children (Malkijah & Teresa)who married Winslow Turner,Jr. BEF 1811 in Lincoln County, Missouri. They traveled to DeWitt's Colony abt.1828. Thank you to all who may have info. to share. Sheryl ----------- MY GREATGREATGREATGRANDFATHER: WILLIAMS. Malkijah Williams also spelled Malkyah and referred to as "Lige" Williams in some accounts arrived in the DeWitt Colony on 1 Aug 1830 as a single man and received title to a quarter sitio on 20 Nov 1831 according to colony land records. William's tract was on the west bank of the Lavaca River on the current border of Lavaca and Jackson counties and except for that of John Jones, the southernmost grant in the DeWitt Colony. The record of his marriage to Cynthia Ann Burns in 1837 is among the earliest marriage records in current JacksonCo archives (Malkyah Williams and Cynthis Ann Burns). Cynthia also written Cynthianne and "Synthia" in some records was born 7 July 1813 and was the daughter of Arthur Burns, one of the earliest settlers in the DeWitt Colony. The Williams lived in Lavaca Co and according to some Cynthia helped Evaline DeWitt design and make the "Come and Take It" flag of Gonzales. --- Source:1828 DeWitt Colony Biographies The Lista de los Havitantes de la Colonia de DeWitt en el Departmento de Texas 1828 SONS OF DEWITT COLONY TEXAS © 1997-2005, Wallace L.

    3. Sheryl (and anyone else with Texas ancestors), This is a great site where you can retrieve online actual downloaded digital images of actual documents. Please try many various misspellings to find all documents. http://www2.tsl.state.tx.us/trail/RepublicSearch.jsp I've come across a lot on this site for your ancestors while searching for mine. It says put in search criteria as "last name, first name" but it doesn't work that way. If you put in "Turner, Winslow" you are going to get all Turners regardless. Try putting in as the only search criteria "Winslow". Also, were you aware of military service in Louisiana by Winslow Turner and family? I found the records recently while searching LA records. I can't remember how I found those records. Wasn't it Winslow Turner Jr who died in the Runaway Scrape while trying to move his family to safety?
