Bud, I checked the book for other entries for Jane Crawford, but found nothing. I was also checking for references concerning Crawford & Williams within the same transactions, and have this in addition, with a couple of other Williams transactions involving individuals also mentioned with Crawfords included in an effort to help identify which William Williams this may be, since there were many people living in Edgecombe with the same names. I don't know if these will help, but they might be useful to you at some time in the future : Deed Book 3- Pg. 216 - WILLIAM WILLIAMS of Edge. Co. to THOMAS DAVIS of Edge. Co. 2 Feb 1747 60 pounds current money of VA. 150 acres on the south side of Morattock river, joining WILLIAM GRAY, JOSEPH WATTS, ARTHUR CRAWFORD and TIMOTHY SPELLINGS as by patent 1 Feb. 1725 and conveyed by ARTHUR CRAFFORD to WILLIAMS 18 Aug. 1736 Wit: JOHN POPE, THOMAS DAVIS Reg.

Someone reminded me of another favorite website, so I am posting it, along with a few others I left off my previous list. http://www.segenealogy.com/ (Lots of genealogy maps, and a good list of genealogy terms, and illnesses, a must for beginners, or just someone needing a refresher course) http://www.goldenbranches.com/nc-state/cherokee/data.html (Lots of free data, including Census and Marriage records for Cherokee County, North Carolina) http://www.livgenmi.com/1895/ (1895 U.S. Atlas, for every state and county in the U.S.) The following are a bunch of websites featuring historical maps for all eras, and all areas of the U.S. and World. http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/maps/maps.cfm#18c http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/countyfm.htm (North Carolina County formation maps, clickable from 1700-1912) http://garnet.acns.fsu.edu/~phensel/maps.html#historic (maps of all kind) http://www.davidrumsey.com/ (more maps) http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ http://www.us-counties.com/index.html (want to find out what is available and who to contact for any State or County office in the U.S.? It's at this website) The following is a link to a website run by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro that has transcribed thousands of slavery petitions for 15 states. Transcriptions are fully searchable and lists names of slaves, masters, and locations where petitions were filed. http://library.uncg.edu/slavery_petitions/about.asp Links to websites featuring lists of nicknames used in historical and present times, which can be very useful when trying to locate your ancestors. I'll bet a lot of people never knew that a name like "Mary" and "Polly" were interchangeable, or that "Mary" and "Molly", "Jane" and "Gincy", "Daisy" and "Margaret", "Madge" and "Margaret", and hundreds of others, were variations on the same names. That can make the difference when you can't find your Great Aunt Jane, but all you see is someone named "Jincy", or "Gincy". http://genealogy.about.com/library/bl_nicknames.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohfulton/FemaleNicknames.html http://www.genealogytoday.com/genealogy/enoch/nicknames.html http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacumber/nick.htm Looking for an Obituary of a fairly recent death, or in some cases, for a death occurring in the last 50 years or so? Or is there an article you heard about that appeared in a newspaper somewhere in the country? You can find it yourself in many cases by simply checking newspapers for the area of the country where the individual died. The following is the link to Newspapers.com, with links to newspapers throughout the world. Just key in the name of the location you want to find a newspaper, and you'll get a Results listing all of the local newspapers for the area. Click onto the newspaper site, and you can read the paper online, and most of them feature archived articles and obituaries which can be searched for free for a certain amount of years back.

Lewis I realize you are far from Galveston but I seek data on a John Williams called Stacks who ran chater boats out of galveston and is now dead . He had a son John and grandson John Boy. i can't track them census wise as that data is released. Do you have resourses that might help me? Bud.

Deloris I think item p 165 in Edgecombe Deed Abstracts could be a lead for me. I seek a Aaron Crawford Williams bca. 1780?? an item from the enternet says s/o of Williams and Jane Crawford and has Aaron dying in McDonald Co. Mo.ca 1879. Thank you for posting the index . I search for several different WILLIAMSes almost every line has a WILLIAMS marriage and all very common names except Aaron. Bud.

Estella, Would your files have an Aaron Crawford Williams ? A genealogy society meeting program came up with him in Mc Donald Co. Mo.dying 1879 but the submitter won't answer and provided no sourses. I know he once lived in Bedford Co. Tenn. Had 9 childre was in Ind. then Mo. Adair Co. He is my husband's great grandfather, Maternally. Bud.

Deloris, Thank you for the many sites you just posted, always new ones are appreciated....Peggy

Cherry, Well I for one didn't think you were and I caught what you were implying, but do feel that helping one another is very important in genealogy also. Many of us use different programs, and any help is appreciated, where better to find it than among our trusted "cousins". We still get in plenty of Williams research and inquiries on here. Sorry you didn't understand the need for help. Peggy

I think you missed what I was asking! It seemed like several people got off on discussing 2006 Family Tree Maker software instead of Williams genealogy!!!! I really am not that stupid!

Hey everyone! Just to let you know that I have started a website today. It's still in it's infancy, so bear with me. This way you can look from time to time, add your comments or whatever else. It nothing spectacular, just something to get us from now until 2009! Donna www.ultimatefamilyreunion.atomicshops.com

Lillian Your message inspires me to post a list of some of my favorite research websites that have online records available and can help in your research, and are Free to use by anyone. USGenweb & Rootsweb have a number of free databases which can be searched very easily. First of all try searching at the Rootsweb homepage by name, they have the largest group of free resources online: http://www.rootsweb.com/ USGenweb can researched a number of ways, but probably the best way is by going to the State and County pages that you need. Click onto the State in the left column of the homepage, and then pick the County you want to check. Most of the County Websites have lots of data contributed by users including census, wills, deeds, court records, almost anything for genealogy researching. Try it, you'll be amazed at what's available for free: http://www.usgenweb.org/ By the way, if you don't know the county, but have the city or town, try doing a search at Rootsweb's "U.S. Town/County Database", available on their homepage. Just click onto the link, and type in the city & 2 letter State abbreviation. Most genealogy research locates records based on the names of a County, so it is important to know the County. Here are a number of State or County databases that can help in doing specific researches, and which have documents or links to data: http://halifax.sgarner349.com/ (Halifax County, North Carolina) http://www.b4us.net/ (Northeastern North Carolina Genealogy Research database includes, Maps,Court Records, Military databases for the Spanish American War, Civil War, WWII, County Histories, Cemeteries, plus books for NC, and much more. http://www.lofthouse.com/warren/bibles/sura.htm (Warren Co.,North Carolina family bible records) http://www.nexgenimaging.com/db/warrenpolicy.cfm (Warren Co.,NC Property Records database) http://www.linkpendium.com/genealogy/USA/NC/Granville/ (Linkpendium Genealogy, has websites and resources for most Counties in the USA.

Has anyone on this list ever figured out General Seth William's ancestry? I know I am not directly related to him, I can't find any proof anywhere of it. But, I have family members who insist he is in our line, and my great great grandmother did come from the same general area of Maine as him, during the same general time frame. I was asking to see if we could be "cousins". thanks, Peggy

I seek to correspond with descendants of Joseph Mason Williams, born Sept. 2, 1870, a lawyer in San Antonio, Texas. Lewis Williams

A query at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/limestone/queries/genconnect/tex9.txt says Queen was born 10 Oct 1839 and died 2 Feb 1888 and married John B. "Jack" Rasco. Submissions at the WorldConnect Project claim her birthplace was Winston Co MS. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi 1870 Limestone Co TX census lists what is apparently Queen as "Eliza" Williams, 32, b MS, in David Tidwell's household, with "Jno." (John) Williams, age 12, and Thomas Williams, age 9, both b TX. "Eliza" was born in MS. On the census, people were often listed by their formal or legal name, which was not necessarily the same name they were called by the family. LDS transcription of the 1880 census http://www.familysearch.org/ shows John "Raseo" and wife Elizabeth, age listed as 43, born MS, parents b SC. In their household, among other children, are sons Emmett and Thomas. Despite the age discrepancy, Emmett "Raseo" may be another name for "Jno. Williams" of the 1870 census. (At least one of the five or six WorldConnect submissions on Elizabeth lists one of her sons as John Emmett Williams, b ca 1857.) Thomas may be Thomas Williams. Ages are often off by several years on the census. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mhendrix40" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 2:18 PM Subject: Queen (Tidwell) Williams of Limestone Co., TX >I am looking for any information concerning Elizabeth Victoria (Queen) >Tidwell who was born 1837-1840, TX.

And now back to genealogy, here are some Deed abstracts from "Abstracts of Deeds, Edgecombe Precinct, Edgecombe County, North Carolina 1732-1758", by Margaret M. Hofmann (these are some of the earliest deeds of the county, some when the Precinct was still part of Bertie County -prior to 1741. Also note that there are sometimes references to "Albemarle Co, Edgecombe Pct"; that is because the earliest references to any of the Carolinas- which were not yet formed as actual territories or states- were as Albemarle County, then considered a Province of Virginia. These are the first mentioning of some of the WILLIAMS families who lived there, and many of the people who lived in early Edgecombe moved on to other locations, so there may be something in here for someone. If you see something you might want more info on, let me know and I'll post it: Deed Book 1 - Pg. 43 - THOMAS MATTHEWS of the north west parish of Edge.
