I am searching for any information on a William Greenberry Williams b. 1826 in Illinois and married to Cressey Bails. Know of sons Franklin Alexander Williams b. in Illinois, Thadios Williams b. in Texas, Stephen Williams b. in Texas and one daughter Sarah E. Williams b. Texas. Think he probably had other children but not sure. They moved around a lot in Texas as they were cattle herders according to 1880 census. Thanks

I hope this information matches with someone else out there. I've hit a continual brick wall trying to find info on George Henderson's parents. I have found some information that may link him to some of the Williamses in Washington Parish, Louisiana, so I'd be happy to get any information on that as well. Thanks!! _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

Dear List Manager: Thank you. After 5 years of searching and reading the Digest letters from 10 different Rootsweb sites, I connected today with 2 "kin".....how exciting can it get. I have gone through over 100 messages per week and had not rec'd any positive reponses until today. Thank you for allowing the Roll Call. Wilma Williams in Calif.

Personally I don't mind deleting the messages that I do not want, the thing that would be helpful to most of us is if the one who posts could put a location in the subject line so it would be easier to delete the unwanted posts.

My grandfather was Leigh Arthur Williams, born March 2, 1867 in Hesper, Wineshiek, Iowa. I do not have the info in front of me at this moment and want to send this much off tonight, but as I remember, both of his parents were born in Vermont according to the 1880 (I think) census -- info sent to me kindly by another lister. Unfortunately, I don't have the list of his siblings handy. He married Elizabeth Grace Bruce on March 1, 1893. I have quite a lot of info on her family thanks to connecting with a 3rd cousin via the Bruce site. They had 3 children --- Howard Bruce Williams (my father) born December 25, 1893 in Pelican Rapids, Minnesota, died -- 1973. Harry Niles Williams and Nell Grace(?) Williams Currie I am interested in knowing more about Leigh Arthur's parents (his mother was a Taber) and also in contacting descendants of Harry. I am in touch with one of Nell's children. Would like to hear from Williams who recognize the name Hesper, Winneshiek, Iowa.

Hi, I've been reading these for a few weeks now and have not had the nerve to jump in here. Thank you for the Roll Call and the opportunity to list my Williams family. The oldest name I have found is VALERINS WINCHESTER WILLIAMS b. 01 Oct 1829, son of JAMES (I think). m. REPSEY CHARLOTTE SHIVERS (Hardeman Cty). This is my Mother's side of the family. She is daughter of DAISY JO WILLIAMS, b. 10 March 1892 in Ark. d. 19 April 1936 in Jones Cty Tx. m. CANTRELL DEVIRE SCOTT. b. 13 Aug 1882 (Tate Cty Miss) d. 9 Dec 1970 in Jones Cty Tx. Thank you for any light you can shine on my Williams Family. Ann Silva arsilva@cox.net

I agree -- it takes only a little time to delete them all, and if only one or two folks make contact with a new "cousin", it's well worth the time. If I could get a new contact, I'd certainly be pleased!!

Isn't this what this list is for? To help others and have others help us? Thank you everybody. Bonnie

I may not have found any new information, but at least I know there are a lot of Williames in the same boat as I am. The Williams' are an elusive bunch, but they have to be out there somewhere. Keep the roll call going.

I don't understand what the complainers are complaining about. Why did they subscribe? Yes, I've deleted message after message after message, and I haven't found any links to either of my lines (in fact, one never appeared). However, I have enjoyed reading each and every message. Some are very, very interesting. Oh, my second line: Edward Williams, born about 1731 in Dorchester, Maryland Margaret Williams, born about 1755, Dorchester, Maryland Elizabeth Abbott, nov. 1785, North Carolina, died about 1800 Indiana Nancy Mary Osburn, 1814, Tennessee, died 1859 William Elvis Gilbert, 1859, Illinois, died 1920, Colorado Howard B.

I have recieved so many angry replies because of this roll call. But come on people thats what the delete button is for , if you don't want to spend the time to look at them ,and maybe take a chance on missing the one person that will put your family tree together then just hit the delete button. But I for one appreciate this roll call as I have hit a brick wall with my Williams line and this atleast gives me some where to start the search. Remember if you don't want them just DELETE , DELETE , DELETE . The time you spend sending an angry reply could have been spent deleting all the mail you don't want. Teresa Thompson Williams
