Hello Everyone, I am looking for the Williams family of a Rachel Williams who married Thomas STARK, I believe possibly in Fairfax County, the portion that later became Loudon Co. He was the son of James Stark, d. 1754, Stafford Co and Elizabeth THORNTON. They lived on an estate that is now pretty well submerged by the Lunga Reservoir, on the Quantico Marine base (sigh). A large tome on the family of James and Elizabeth suggests that Thomas and brothers William, Walter and possibly Jeremiah lived in Fairfax/Loudon. I have just begun researching the Williams angle, although they are the ONLY ones that are located close to me (Alexandria VA). Thomas and Rachel had their first child by 1752, supposedly in Fairfax, which is why I am looking there for the Williams connection. FYI, if it helps at all in tracking the family, Thomas and at Walter at least moved to Newberry SC ca 1768. Thomas joined other family members in Robertson Co TN in the 1790s, where he died in 1802. Any thoughts on WILLIAMS, and a Rachel born abt 1740 are welcome. I am in the early stages of looking at some of the information at the Fairfax Co library to see if I can find this Williams. I wasn't quite ready to post anything til I had more under my belt, but since there is a roll call decided to forge ahead. Best Regards, Janet (Baugh) Hunter
