Hi Barbara, Is this the couple you are researching? You can find out if the County Clerk has a copy of their marraige application and marriage certificate. Maybe they were married by a J.P. or a religious official. Certificate may yield some more clues. Best of luck!

Walt, I'm not sure if this is Ralph and Ann Potter Williams, but the 1786 Census for the Granville Co. district of "Nap of Reeds" lists: Ralph Williams 1 - WM 21-60 yrs. 3 - WM under 21 and above 60 3 - WF all ages Do you know who Ralph's father was? Ellen

Hi, Ellen. Thanks for writing and thanks for the 1786 census. Ralph WILLIAMS m. Ann Potter WALKER, daughter of John WALKER and Ann POTTER. His parents were probably Ralph WILLIAMS and an Unknown BOSWELL, but I know nothing about them. Ralph was born abt. 1735 and died abt. 1806. His wife Ann born about 1755. They married 27 Aug 1778 in Granville. There is a great deal of speculation about the number of children born to the couple, but the following names seem very likely: Robert, Mary, Stephen, Elizabeth, Martha, and Susan. Some argue that there were many more children than this. (Elizabeth WILLIAMS is my fourth great grandmother.) walt boswell [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 11:31 PM Subject: Re: [WILLIAMS] Williams of Granville Co., NC > Walt, I'm not sure if this is Ralph and Ann Potter Williams, but the 1786 > Census for the Granville Co. district of "Nap of Reeds" lists: > > Ralph Williams > 1 - WM 21-60 yrs. > 3 - WM under 21 and above 60 > 3 - WF all ages > > Do you know who Ralph's father was? > > Ellen > > > > > ==== WILLIAMS Mailing List ==== > List web page: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/w/williams.html > Genealogy Links - http://www2.netdoor.com/~cch/GEN-links.htm > > ============================== > Search Family and Local Histories for stories about your family and the > areas they lived.

Dan: This is probably a coincidence, but I have a Williams ancestor for whom I have not been successful in identifying parents or siblings. He was H. G. Williams (Henderson), born April 22, 1832, in North Carolina. He first appears in the 1860 census of Pickens County, Alabama, already married with three small children. I do not know when or how he got from Where ever, North Carolina, to the AL / MS border. The only clue is that his wife, Elizabeth Robinson, was born in MS, and I have not found a marriage record for them, nor parents for her - they were born in NC (according to census records). Now for the coincidental parts: The first three children were named Andrew Jackson Williams, Benjamin Franklin Williams and Jerome Napoleon Williams. A son born later was named Robert Williams. They had three daughters: Lilly J., Mary H. and Alice Cora. The family left Alabama between 1870 and 1880. They spent some time in Arkansas before landing in Bell County, Texas (adjacent to Milam County.) Andrew Jackson Williams (my ancestor) moved from Bell County to Milam County before 1900. Other families I have researched migrated in large groups. This this coincidence or is your John related to my Henderson??? Do you have any clues about the names of John's parents or siblings? Larry Wilson - Texas

Daniel, If I did not thank you before I am now. thank for for getting back to me and letting me know that your Matthew Williams is not part of my line. I do not get discouraged real bad when I do not have a match, instead I try to think of it as being ok I have ruled another out. thanks again, Norma/Ohio Proud Army mom of Sgt. Thomas P. Miller IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR TROOPS, PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM !!!

anyone know of a Howard C Williams born April 1, 1914 in Windham Montana but lived in Billings Montana in 1948 right after the war?

Dear JS: I have the William Williams married to Hannah ________ but have not dates nor places. But I have the son, John, born 12 April 1762, in South Carolina, died 15 August, 1822, in South Carolina, married to Marget (but I did not have the McCorkle, thanks), born 15 May 1768, died 15 Dec 1827 (No address for her) I think I got this information out of a Union County, South Carolina History publication without any reference to where the information ,came from J. Patrick Williams, son of John, through James N. Willliams. I have just hit the high points and will be glad to furnish more if any of it interests you.

Estelle (and any other Williams to which this may have application): I have a William Williams whose wife's name was Hannah. I do not date nor place of birth but they had a son named John, wife's name Marget, who was born in South Carolina in 1762. If there is anyone else out there who has these people in their back ground please let me hear from you.

You're welcome, Ellen. One thing though, there was sometimes referral in records to Little Fishing Creek, as well as Greater Fishing Creek, I'm wondering maybe the Little Creek was a term used in other times. Fishing Creek actually ran through several counties and almost all of the locations in that Piedmont area had a Fishing Creek, including the Township names. Evelyn Wallace may not be around these past few days, otherwise she would have responded. I'm going to send her an email and ask her to get in touch with you, she's the one who's done a lot of work on the Granville Williams family.

This is the same family I was referring to in my message dated 9/27/2005, when I mentioned that their is a genealogy at Ray's Genealogy Page. I'm not familiar with the lineage of some of the other children of SAMUEL WILLIAMS (d.1753 Edgecombe) & ELIZABETH ALSTON, only with one or two, so some of those descendants could have moved on to Anson & Mississippi.

Thomas, this may be your Williams clan in Anson Co. and ancestors. Check it and see If it is any good. Jane Beck did this research. ____________________________________________________________ JOHN WILLIAMS - born in Wales, wife unknown. Was in Isle of Wight, VA by 1640. His son, JOHN WILLIAMS (Jr?) was born 1640, in the Lower Parish, Isle of Wight, VA. He married Elizabeth Ann Whitley in 1671. She was born (1658) also in Isle of Wight. Third generation was their son, WILLIAM WILLIAMS - born 1676, Isle of Wight, and died 12-9-1711 in Albemarle Co., NC. He married Mary Moore, born 1678, died after 1711. 4th Generation - SAMUEL WILLIAMS - born about 1698, Isle of Wight, VA, died 10-21-1753, in Edgecombe Co., NC. Married Elizabeth Alston. 5th Generation - gets murky. Dates seem out of line, and there are several of this clan who had sons named "Dudley Williams", but the better charts all indicate that the father of Dudley was WILLIAM WILLIAMS, who married Catherine Tyre. WILLIAM born about 1736 in Edgecombe Co., and died Sept. 1807 (some say Wake Co., NC, others say Anson). Catherine was the daughter of Thomas Tyre and Catherine Jones. DUDLEY WILLIAMS was one of their many children. He was born about 1770 and died 1815 in Anson County, NC. DUDLEY'S wife was MARY HARRIS (3-5-1771--died after 1840 in Henderson Co., TN.) Mary Harris Williams was the daughter of Sherrod Harris and Hannah Page. (That particular Harris family intermarried a lot with this Williams branch.) Children of DUDLEY & MARY WERE: 1 - Solomon Williams 2 - Dudley Williams (Jr.) - b. about 1805 in Anson County. 3 - Elizabeth Williams - born about 1788, died 6-7-1861 in Henderson Co., TN. She married Elijah Flake. The Flake name is in Dudley's will that you sent me a transcript of, except the transcriber read it as "Plak" or something similar, I believe. 4 - Susannah Williams - 5 - Hannah Williams - 6 - Martha Williams - 7 - Elisa (?)

Seeing that there is so much activity on the list, I will submit this query. Levi Williams married Alice Wilson. Date unknown. They had a daughter named Mary, Mollie, Melcina. There are several more possible names. She was born 10 May 1868. Burlington, Milam County, TX. There were other possible brothers and/or sisters but this is the only information I have. She was very secretive and figured it was nobody's business of the past. Mary Williams married my grandfather, William Johnson Melton (Milton) on 8 Apr 1889. There is a marriage of a M. J. Williams who married a W. J. Milton in another county in TX on that date but have no more information on this. I think it was Wilbarger County. It is also possible that Mary was born in Illinois. I know that William J. and Mary Milton was in I.T. (OK) when my father, George Leonard Milton, was born on 8 Feb 1892. They also had a daughter named Florence but evidently died as an infant. Anybody have any info on these individuals I would very pleased. I have the Milton/Melton line back to England but the Williams-Wilson are my brick walls. Jim Milton, Chehalis, WA

My william Williams gives different states where he was born. I think I found him in Hall County, GA. 1830. Cannot find him in 1840 . 1850 he is in Randolph County, AL. Beat 4. page 308 Williams Williams age 52 born Ga (I think its hard to read) Cynthia wife age 40 born GA ? Jane female 18 born GA. Henry age 15 (gives him as a female) I know this is wrong born GA. William male age 13 born Ga. Noah male age 11 born Alabama Joshua male age 09 born Alabama Nancy female age 08 born Alabama Mary female age 04 born Alabama David male a age 02 born Alabama 1860 census they are in Blont County, AL. Cynthia is not listed so she must be dead. but 2 more children are added Ann female age 09 born Alabama Sarah female age 05 born alabama Noah has moved to Atalla County, MS in 1860 working as farm labor. the William that was 13 in 1850 have not found him. 1860 census gives William the father as being born in NC .the 1880 census gives him as being born in NC. He died in Blount County, AL. in 1880. Would really like to have some help on who William and Cynthia parents are and what happen to all the children. [email protected]

Samuel F.Williams , Born in Virginia {or Northampon Co.NC}. Married in Warren County to Jane Coley. Served in the Civil War. Last found in the 1880 census ,Nash Co, N.Whitakers twp. He is my brick wall {gggrandfather.} Had a son Andrew Jackson Williams by first wife believed to be named Elizabeth.{ No real record} He and Jane had a son William Henry Williams who was my grandfather. My father's name was Joseph McDaniel Williams. Does anyone recognize any of these people? Bettie

Sorry, I can't help on this, but the family names sound familiar. My roadblock is John M or N Williams, born 8-17-1785, Warren County, NC, Died 8-27-1862, Marshall County, Mississippi. The 1850 census records that he was a bricklayer. He probably came to Mississippi about 1842, from Anson Co, NC. Wife's name believed to be Olive or Olivia. His sons were William J Williams (b 1-21-1813 in NC), Joseph John Williams (b in 1-8-1815, Anson Co,NC, and James Williams (b about 1828 in NC). All 3 of these sons migrated to Mississippi. Family names used over the years are Sarah, Mary, Jane, Elizabeth, Olive, Samuel, John, Joseph, William, Thomas, and Dudley, and they were all Baptists or Methodists. If this line sounds familiar to any of you researching folks, I would greatly appreciate a NC "tie-in." I have searched all of the wills and birth records that I can access. I can supply plenty of info on the Mississippi and Texas Williams families descended from this line. Thanks, T.

Karen, Have you checked the census records & tax records for Person County for the names of Williams & Griffin? I found this when I checked those records. There was only one GRIFFIN family in Person Co. at any one time period. There were several WILLIAMS families, but very few in the same township as the GRIFFIN family, which will lead you to who was probably ELISHA WILLIAMS parents & grandparents.

WILLIAMS was your ELISHA WILLIAMS father. Perhaps by studying more census & tax records you can identify his mother.
