Re: Jeremiah Williams, yes, quite a bit of annotation, for example: Page 108, Household #368 $-/$100 Polly White 50 Va. Joseph 22 Charles T. 17 Mary E. 25 "Adam White md Polly Williams, 26 Apr 1825, d/o Alexander & Eliza White. Polly b. 29 Jan 1804. In Giles Court Order minutes, 27 Jun 1816: "Alexander Williams, d. 1 Jan 1815 at Norfolk, Va., in War of 1812. Eliza, widow of Alexander, administress of estate. They were married 14 years ago." (1802; I have not found date) "He left six (6) children: Polly Williams, 11 years old, 29 Jan last. John Williams, 9 years, 6 Oct last. Jeremiah Williams, 8 years old, 25 Dec last. Parker Williams, 6 years, 20 Dec last. Jane Williams, 3 years, 18 Oct last. Betsy, 1 year, 23 Mar last. Alexander, s/o Jeremiah & Mary (Garst) Williams. Jeremiah came to Giles County area from Fauquier Co. VA Jeremiah d. May 1824. Will 7 May 1819, proved 30 Mar 1824, names wife Mary, children: Abram, John, David, Patience, Molly, Alexander, Andrew, Hugh, James, Margaret & Rebecca. Marriages of Alexander's children: Polly md Adam White, 26 Apr 1825 (Adam d. 1848, w/o James & Mary White); John md Ann Dickenson; Jeremiah md Susannah White, 31 Aug 1826; Betsy md James Albert, 12 Dec 1829. I have no marriages or data on Parker or Jane. I have found no death data for Eliza, widow of Alexander. (Some people believe she md Frederick Albert, 30 Jan 1827, BUT THEY ARE WRONG. That Eliza was widow of John Williams who came from Germany. Frederick & Eliza lived in Tazewell and Eliza died in Tazewell, VA in 1865.) This Frederick Albert, s/o James H. Albert. James md (1) Elizabeth Lucas who d. ca 1803; (2) Agnes Glen, 27 May 1810, d/o John & Sarah Glen of Christiansburg, VA. James H. d. 1839; wife d. 1836, both of TN. Joseph White, above, died in Civil War. Charles T. md Nancy J. Williams, 1 Sep 1865, d/o Andrew & Eliza (Lucas) Williams. Mary E. md Samuel Price, 4 Nov. 1869, s/o Hiram & Sarah Price. Dau. Martha md Jonathan Wickline, 25 Dec 1855, s/o John & Hannah (Bradley) Wickline. John md. Hannah 20 Dec 1828. I have tried to be careful typing here...I proof-read, and don't think I made any mistakes. Off to eat some lunch! Cara
