>From 3rd and 4th generation descendants affidavits it is pretty well established that Joseph Williams parents were Joseph Williams and Mary Mewborn as well as Joseph Williams (the younger) and his wife Martha Parrott/Perritt naming one of their sons, Mewborn Williams; however, no records have been found to prove that to my knowledge and the in-depth group of researchers I have been working with. Therefore, it is not known if Joseph Williams had any siblings or if so, who they might be. The first proven record we have of Joseph Williams is a deed for land purchased in Duplin Co., NC in 1754 which could have been the father of Joseph Williams b ca 1747/8. There were so many by the name of Joseph Williams in Duplin County is has been difficult to almost an impossibility to determine where each belongs in what family. However, if anyone knows who the siblings of Joseph Williams m Martha Parrott/Perritt might have been I would appreciate hearing from you. My Joseph Williams left Sampson Co. (that part of Duplin which became Sampson Co.) In 1800-1801 my Joseph Williams moved to Anson Co., NC next to the SC line and died there July 6, 1825. Martha, his wife died less than 48 hours later on July 8, 1825. Their known children were: Edith m George House; Henry b Aug. 23 1769 m Sally Parker, Nancy Herring and Elisabeth Norkett after moving to Anson Co., NC; Parrott/Perritt m Rhoda Herring; Hezekiah m Eunice Herring; William Williams m Lydia Bivens; Lemuel Williams m Rhoda Elizabeth Cuthbertson, Delilah Presson Price and Barbara Presson; Martha Williams m William Bennett; Rebecca Williams m Hosea James. According to the obituary notice Joseph Williams was 77 years at the time of his death July 6, 1825 and Martha was some 2 years younger. That is how the birth years was derived. Any information would be most appreciated and I will be happy to share my research with serious researchers. Dorothy C. White dotwhite@comcast.net
