She had used the following: "Family Records,Williams Family Bible, John Kerr Connally Papers, Southern Historical Collection" (Electronic: Hope Coslett Pees Seguin, Texas [email protected]), University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill." I hoped that you could perhaps locate the source and confirm the data that applied to those you were searching. There was, I'm sure you realize, more than one Nathaniel Williams listed in the material. If I didn't include that specific item, I'll resend it to you. As you noted the information was a source of Hope Coslett Pees, I have not confirmed it for myself since this particular line is not my own. I am related to Martha Jones whose first husband was a Williamson, they of course had children who had Williams spouses: 1-- Martha Jones [I] ( - ) sp-Thomas Williamson [I] ( -1755) . . . 2-- Nathan Williamson (1750- ) sp-Sarah Swift (1763- ) 3-- Elizabeth Williamson ( - ) sp-Samuel Smith [Jr.] (1790-1840) ,Rockingham County,North Carolina [my 2nd great granduncle] . . . sp-Thomas Nance [I] ( - ) <<<<------------------ 2-- Martha Nance (1765-1853) or of,Guilford County,North Carolina sp-Samuel Smith (1758-1839) ,Rockingham County,North Carolina [my 3rd great grandfather] . . .
