Hello Everyone, I had been deleting all of the "polite" emails, assuming this was a non-genealogy discussion. Today I went through emails in sequence from several lists and was really surprised to find that indeed there were Williams ancestors being discussed. I respectfully request that posters please change the subject line to indicate the name, date, location of the folks being discussed. I have three proven Williams lines, the latter two of which are of greatest current interest: #ONE -- James Williams (Quaker), b. Wales, m. Anne Lewis 1699 Haverford MM, PA. He died 1707 in Philadelphia. (She later married Henry Bennett & Rowland Roberts.) #TWO -- Thomas Williams, d. between ca 1812-1823, Cocke County TN. Wife unknown. James Williams' family (except my Thomas L. Williams) moved to Cole (now Moniteau County MO). Families surrounding Thomas in early land surveys/grants in Cocke Co: North, Brickey, Lane, Lillard, Smith, Denton, Allan, Large and more. James Williams' children married heavily into Jobe family descendants (not mine though). #THREE -- Edward Williams, d. ca 1799, Richmond Co. NC, believed to be the son of Thomas, possibly Quaker with origins in PA/DE. Associated names: Blewett, Garton, Stone and more. Thank you all for considering clarifying your emails in the subject line. Best Regards, Janet (Baugh) Hunter ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Janet, I don't often respond to much, but I do read them everyday. Your email got my attention quickly, as my ggg grandfather, James Williams did move to Cole County, Missouri. His son Oliver P. Williams, my gg grandfather, was born in 1827 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, so it is assumed he moved shortly thereafter. His wife's name is Ann, and they had the following children: Oliver P., William, John, James Wood, Eli, Barnet, Maria, Hannah, Elizabeth, David, and George. They are all mentioned in James Williams Will, which I obtained from the Missouri State Archives. James was born in the 1790's, probably in PA, and died bef. 15 March 1846 in Boone County, Missouri. Ann his wife is last found in the 1850 Census for Cole County living with Oliver P. and his wife. If this sounds like it could be the same James Williams, I would love to trade some data with you. The descendancy: James Williams to Oliver P. Williams to Robert R. Williams to Harry R. Williams to my mother, Mildred Williams. Thanks for any info you might have.
