I have a great uncle named James Riley Williams that died in 1928 in Scott County, Arkansas. He went by Rile and Riley at times. His brother (my great grandfather) Samuel Williams moved with his family to the Greenville and Terrill, Texas area around 1925-30. Any relation? ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I can't tell if there is. I'll send you what I have and maybe it will help you find some kind of connection. Williams is so hard to progress on because there are so many with similar names.
