Hi Janet, I see that you have a Williams in PA, so do I, and so far have not found anything further back. My earliest is Josiah Williams, b. about 1807, PA, d. after 1870, in Clarion or Armstrong Co. PA. Might you have anything more on your PA Williams, or might I get really lucky, and you have Josiah? He married Nancy Catherine Buzard, born either PA or Baltimore about 1806.
