Hi Kay, Sure hope everything will be okay after your medical procure. I was wondering if you might have a Edward Williams in your data base? The only thing I know about Edward is he had 3-sons (most likely more children) John H b abt 1823, Edward abt 1825 & Samuel abt 1834. My information came from census's and a Guion-Miller Application my grandmother filled out in 1908. I come down from John H b 1823, he died in Missouri. Thank you for any information on my Williams, Donna N & K Chestnut <nkopportunity@gorge.net> wrote: Good for you, Peggy. Do you have a WILLIAMS question you haven't asked recently? May be I will be able to pay closer attention this time. I, myself, have names and some dates on such a large WILLIAMS 'tribe', that 'no way' can I remember all the names and spouses' names, also.

I am trying to make contact with anyone in the family of Caleb Williams, b. 1796 in VA; d. 1889 in Cumberland Co., KY.; m. Mary Lucy Jones abt. 1816 in VA. They had 10 children 9 of which were born in Cumberland Co., KY. Caleb's father was James (William) Williams. I do not know where he was born but he married a lady named Sarah ? in VA. They had 7 known children all born in VA. I come down through Caleb's son James Frank Williams to his son Hiram Williams to his daughter Bessie Everie Williams Anglin to her daughter Lillian Belle Anglin Webb to myself Nancy Ann Webb McLaughlin. I know quite a lot work has been done on Caleb. I have a couple of books written by Kenneth Williams of KY. I will be greatful for any information available and will share what I have.

I'm looking for information on Thomas WILLIAMS b. abt 1810 in TN. He married Martha Ann LANE 29 Aug 1828 in Williamson Co., TN. They had the following known children (all born in Williamson Co., TN): 1) E. WILLIAMS (female) b. abt 1835 2) Emeline WILLIAMS b. abt. 1838; m. Howell HARGROVE 3) Samuel WILLIAMS b. abt 1840; m. Sarah TRUETT This is all the info I have have. Any help greatly appreciated. Kim Ivey k_ivey@bellsouth.net

Isn't MNU an acronym for Maiden Name Unknown? Lynn Farrer

Hello, I am a newbie here and I usually take any word with all caps to be an acronym. Most, I can figure out from context - MNU would be one of those. A sentence *full* of acronyms would be problematic for me, but I have not seen that here so far. And if I do see one, I can always ask what it means. I did not take anyone's words in this little debate to be "blasting" or critical, really, either... everyone is just expressing their opinions and I have not disagreed with the substance of anyone's really... These are just the opinions of one who has been reading for just a few days though..dunno if there is more I missed. Anyway... the Williamses I just discovered a relationship to are Eleanor Williams (b.1771 in Westchester County, NY) who married John Acorn on Prince Edward Island in September 1788, and her dad, Captain Frederick Williams, who was a Loyalist and a British officer who moved to Nova Scotia (Digby, I think) after the Revolutionary war (and his time as a "Cowboy", from what I have gathered) I have read references to Eleanor's family going back to the 1500's in New York..but have not come across much information on that yet...and so that is the reason I am here. Most of what I know at this point is from Acorn researchers on line. Eleanor would be my ummm.. great grandmother Harriet Acorn's great grandmother...so, what would that be to me? Gggg grandmother? And Frederick be my Ggggg grandfather, I think. Now would this be also expressed as 4th great and 5th great grandparents? (this is the sort of thing I get confused with, translating terms like "4th great" to the actual numbers of "greats" to recite in a relationship..but it is not an important question..just something that I am confused about) Anyway, that is the line of Williams I am looking for more information on...normally I would just wait till it "came up", but decided to give my opinion about politeness instead, and then explain why I am here.

Amendment to the message below: Mewborn, son of Joseph Williams and Martha Parrott/Perritt died in Weakley Co in 1837 with John McClain and John Williams administrators of his estate and provisions made for his widow Mary. I do not know if this was the only wife nor have any information on him there other than this. Mewborn was given land in Anson Co., NC in 1812, is on the list of Anson Co. Militia 1812, found on Stewart Co., TN 1820 census, 1830 Henry Co., TN census and the administrators of his estate in Weakley in 1837. Any other information would be greatly appreciated. Dorothy C.

First I am not the administrator, I am just a subscriber. In the original post there was used a acronym, I apparently missed a post of someone asking about the acronym, which then another person blasted the original post saying that not everyone understands, etc. Which lead to the below message. I do not believe that it was sent to hurt but direct to resources available. We are all here on this list to find out answers, questions are fine, and those that wish to answer the question with a straight forward answer are welcome but do not belittle each other, everyone has their own way of collecting the needed info and we should respect that, just as you would someone in the real world. We all at one time or another step on someone's toes, we just need to remember to say "I'm sorry" when we do. Thanks for listening to my take on the matter.

Regarding the below statement, I as a subscriber of the Williams list would like to know if this statement is from the administrator of this list or just another subscriber? As a subscriber to many lists, an administrator to another list and a message board administrator, I have never had someone tell someone else they couldn't ask questions about what something means, whether it be acronyms or migration patterns. What I have been taught as an administrator of a list is that they are for asking questions and for giving and sharing information - no matter what it is, as long as it pertains to the subject matter of the list. Belittling someone because they asked a question is not a nice way to treat people. I would like to know what this list administrators rules are, especially in the case of digest mail and deleting messages that do not pertain to the message you are sending and if there is a rule about changing subject lines. On my list and others, messages are supposed to be deleted that you are not directly replying to, this wastes space on the servers if you don't do so, plus it wastes a lot of space in the archives. Now on to my question regarding Williams - I'm looking for Williams in Otsego and Delaware County NY. John Williams b. 1741 d. 1840 married to Penelope Phillips b. 1767 d. 1820. They were married in Providence RI. Does anyone have them in their tree?
