He helped his siblings after his Mother died (1925) and their Father separated himself from his younger children (partly the children's choice because they did not like Canada, and perhaps the step-mother & her children). Basically Dad did not know much about his ancestors. Dad had black hair, hazel eyes (which lighten with age), and a skin which tanned easily and dark. He was 5' 11" and somewhat slender possibly because he had a "bum" (bad) digestive track, stomach and colon. Dad's Father, whom I never met, was said to be 5'10" and 180 lbs. or more.

If you think that the PHILLIPS, is really a WILLIAMS, you could have him yDNA tested and see if he matches any of the WILLIAMSes who have already tested. I think that the WILLIAMS DNA PROJECT is one of the largest DNA groups 'going'. Check it out.

Your description of Ky WILLIAMS being short of stature and very dark hair and eyes sounds like my ancestral grandmother but she was a COOPER only Married to a "gone in the night" WILLIAMS circa1860, She married second, Grissom Reed LEE and died 1884. She left besides her LEE children ^, two WILLIAMS Minerva who became a PHILLIPS and Alexander called Elec , who married and had 2 sons, their mother died in1910 Missouri Hazel the older boy ran away and we have never been able to locate him. His brother John after "bumming" for many years as Stacks, became a successful Texas Charter boatman. He had sons, seeming one in each descending family and they all were john/Johnnie/john Boy etc. Any of this sounds familiar? I know Minerva's family, also knew John . he died in Galveston Texas circa 1990. Any clues? His Mother was my father's Aunt. I have only one known blood WILLIAMS AND HIS SURNAME IS PHILLIPS. More discussion another time with list on other WILLIAMS lines Bud.

It is thought that Jonas WILLIAMS [b. ca. 1770-1775 VA. m. 5 Apr 1798 in Mercer Co., KY to Elizabeth THOMPSON and d. 6 Aug 1838 in Washington Co., IL.] had a son - Benjamin WILLIAMS b. before 1810 probably in Barren Co., KY. d. before 1850 possibly in Washington Co., IL., but I really don't know where....

New information given to me they left Arkansas for Leflore County, OKLAHOMA Francis A. Williams son of John B. Williams and Emma Golightly WILLIAMS was a telegraph operator. JOHN D. WILLIAMS THOMAS A WILLIAMS brothers to Francis A. WILLIAMS...John B. WIlliams clerk in a bank and was deceased by 1920... Looking ffor the descendants of those three sons... TIA </HTML>

Kay, carol and others; I have WILLIAMS in every line I compile and they seem to have a penchant for disappearing. Your description of Ky WILLIAMS being short of stature and very dark hair and eyes sounds like my ancestral grandmother but she was a COOPER only Married to a "gone in the night" WILLIAMS circa1860, She married second, Grissom Reed LEE and died 1884. She left besides her LEE children ^, two WILLIAMS Minerva who became a PHILLIPS and Alexander called Elec , who married and had 2 sons, their mother died in1910 Missouri Hazel the older boy ran away and we have never been able to locate him. His brother John after "bumming" for many years as Stacks, became a successful Texas Charter boatman. He had sons, seeming one in each descending family and they all were john/Johnnie/john Boy etc. Any of this sounds familiar? I know Minerva's family, also knew John . he died in Galveston Texas circa 1990. Any clues? His Mother was my father's Aunt. I have only one known blood WILLIAMS AND HIS SURNAME IS PHILLIPS. More discussion another time with list on other WILLIAMS lines Bud. ****************************************

Would anyone might know of this family----- I have been looking for my gr-grandfather EDWARD WILLIAMS born in Kentucky---(don't know where)----in 1800, he had a son JOHN H. WILLIAMS b. 1823 KY who was on the 1840-50 census in Missouri. Possible - brothers Edward Williams b. 1825 KY Samuel Williams b. 1834 either a brother, cousin or ?? living with John H on the 1850 census in Missouri.

Note: first message in this series of messages. There are also Golightly surnamed folks in Latimer Co., OK to this day. They intermarried with Williams family members.

Sam's nephew and I have researched this Williams family of W.KY for almost 20 years and had pretty well proven that we were related, but the dna proved our research, without a doubt. There is, however, a Williams family in W.KY about the same time as my GGrandfather, Thomas J. Williams. That other Williams male is also named Thomas J.

That is one of the families I am trying to get to do dna testing. Wouldn't that be something, if they were to match. The interesting thing is that I asked the descendant just how tall this fellow was, as my GGrandfather's CW pension file indicated that he was only 5'4". The photo I was sent showed a couple probably in their 50's standing side by side. As the woman was the same heighth as the man, I asked the descendant if her GGrandmother was unusually tall. She said that they were both 5'3" - 5'5". They all seem to be small, have very dark hair and eyes. If you look at CW pension file descriptions of other Williams males from that area, some are described as tall; i.e., 6' and blue eyed. That definitely does not describe my GGrandfather and his children. Sam Williams of Memphis sent me a photo of his father as a young man and the similarity between this fellow Joseph and my Dad & his brothers at the same age, was amazing. We will see, I am anxious to meet Sam and see just how much like my Dad & Uncles he might be. Wish me luck in finding other Williams surnamed male descendants of these W.KY men. As for your question about a connection between my Williams and Duplin Co., NC area. Many pioneers of these W.KY Counties were from the Duplin Co., NC area. That is the reason I have spent so many years researching all of those families. As my GGrandmothers Graddy family in Hopkins Co., KY originated in Duplin Co., NC, there is some possibility that my GGrandfather Williams family might also.

Posted by permission of the list administrator I am pleased to announce that a limited edition reprint of Planters & Pioneers, Nova Scotia 1749-1775 (1982 Revised) by Dr. Esther Clark Wright has just become available. For those of you who may not be familiar with it, Planters & Pioneers contains years of research by Dr. Wright to determine pre-American Revolution settlers to Nova Scotia & New Brunswick from New England and many parts of Europe. The book is approximately 309 pages and includes information for more than 4,000 family leaders (25,000 names in total including family members) gathered meticulously from township records, registry of deeds, probate records, county and local histories, census records, family histories, genealogies, and so forth. Among the many settlers in the book, WILLIAMS families can also be found. Dr. Wright had hoped to publish future editions but the work ended with her passing in 1990. Planters & Pioneers is very rare because only a few thousand copies were printed nearly 25 years ago. Now it is available again for a limited time. If anyone is interested in ordered a copy, or to get more information about the book, please feel free to contact me off the list through visiting www.plantersandpioneers.com <http://www.plantersandpioneers.com> . Kind regards, Justin Wentzell Beaver Bank, Nova Scotia
