I am a descedent of Virgil M. Williams who was born 5-24-1845 in Kosciusko Ms who served in the Civil War under General Bedford Forrest. He and several brothers and a sister migrated to Texas after the war and he established a homestead in Mustang Prairie, Falls County, Texas in 1872. I don't know if they are any relation to your Williamses, but I'll try to find out.

Your post interests me even though I am not related to Williams. The reason is that my ancestors came from Mississippi to Falls County and also served with Bedford Forrest. It makes sense to me that my Glass ancestors would enjoy pioneering in Texas close to fellow southern patriots who served in the same outfit. My Glass relatives served in the 1st Mississippi Cavalry in Company G. Looking at the roster I see Hampton Williams, Second Lieutehant, Henry William, J.C. Williams, and John Williams. Are they your kinfolk? I also have an account of the activities of the regiment.
