Jane, My Williams family and my Caldwell family are actually in two separate sides (father is Williams and mother is Caldwell). I keep wondering when I will find them connected. My Williams line is John Carouth Williams > Robert Williams > John Owen Williams > Junius Frederick Williams > Philip Eugene Williams. I think the John Carouth/Robert/John Owen Williams line is pretty well documented elsewhere. They seem to have entered the US in Virginia near Jamestown and then moved to Sampson County, then to Cumberland County in NC. That was true through my grandfather, Philip Eugene. He moved to Florida eventually. My Caldwell line is John Caldwell (b. 1683, married Margaret Phillips and came to US from Ireland) > John Caldwell (b. 1715, married Jane Kennedy) > Alexander Caldwell (b. 1755, married Margaret Looney) > Absalom Caldwell (b 1788) > Alexander Caldwell (b.1809) > Joseph Harley Caldwell (b. 1854) > Benjamin Alexander Caldwell (b.1878) > Ruby Spencer Caldwell (b. 1903). This family came from Ireland in about 1727, to Chestnut Level, Pennsylvania, then to Lunenberg County, Virginia; Botetourt County, Virginia or Pendleton District, South Carolina (haven't had time to sort that one out yet) ; Knox County, Tennessee; Jefferson County, Alabama. They were very early settlers in most of the places they went. Do you see any matches there? I'm always interested in more information and I share. My web site is grannyandpopacaldwell.com. I'm in the process of a big update there. If you are from the same Caldwell family, I have pictures of Chestnut Level and Cub Creek, VA areas and a good amount of information about Jefferson County, Alabama.

Rea. Hezekiah Williams and Eunice Herring moved to Jefferson Co., AL about 1820 and Hezekiah died in 1825 from malaria fever. He was the son of Joseph Williams and Martha Parrott/Perritt. There is a Williamsburg, AL that I am told was named after this family. Their children were: Joseph, John, Owen, James, Henry, Calvary, Benjamin (Benjah), Mary Jane, Elizabeth and Catherine Do you see any connection? I have been searching for Joseph Williams parents for a number of years unsuccessfully. He was first found in Duplin Co., NC about 1767 and in the area that became Sampson Co. Joseph Williams served in the Rev. War and around 1800 moved from Sampson Co. to Anson Co., NC. He was a Primitive Baptist elder (preacher.) If you see a connection I will be happy to share my research. Dorothy C. White dotwhite@comcast.net
