Hi, I am doing record updates today and just noticed. I had just noticed that one of my Ancetors on Sevier line was KATHERINE WILLIAMS BORN rICHMOND cO. vA. & DIED 5/23/1741. hER PARENTS WERE jOHN AND eVE wILLIAMS OF RAPPAHANNOCK cO. vA. sHE DIED 1705. kATHERINE MARRIED aBRAHAM gOAD IN 1692 AND tHEIR SON jOHN gOAD B. 1700 WAS THE GRANDFATHER OF sARAH hAWKINS, B. 1746,,sHENNANDOAH cOUNTY, vA. , THE FIRST WIFE OF Col. & Gov. John Sevier of Virginia Military Institute, Fort Watauga, Tenn., and Knoxville, Tenn. State Militia in Rev. War and 1 st Governor of Tenn. Your World Book says he was a frontier opportunist without formal education and a glib talker . It doesn't mention he was a VMI student who spoke 5 languages fluently, plus some Cherokee, a surveyor,, a U. s. Congressman from Tennessee, and a great great grandson of the parents of the parents of St. Frances Xavier of Navarre, Aragon and Pamplona, (Basque, French & Spanish roots) and a member of the Royal Bourbon Family, which still rules Spain today. Some records say his dad lived 1699 to 1803- in 3 centuries. He was Valentine Sevier (Vol-In- Tin back then). Normal Scottish spelling is Kathryn- English was Catherine. Some records show my Grandmother as Kathryn- her headstone says Catherine. Her niece was called Kathy. and that's a lot more than you wanted to know about this Williams line. Right? Take care, Charles Wyly
