Can someone tell me what the Williams site is. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dorothy C. White Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 2:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: FW: [WILLIAMS] N.C. WILLIAMS Researchers? No, Kay, we are not on the Williams mailing list as a group. I think I am the only one. We are researching the lineage of Joseph Williams m Martha Parrott/Perritt and the first records found for him are in 1782 in Duplin Co., NC and he died in Anson Co., NC July 6, 1825. There are postings of his father being Joseph Williams and his mother Mary Mewborn but we have not been able to prove that. I do have the will of Joseph Williams posted on the Williams site and his descendants. I have been in touch with Adrian Williams, administrator, a number of times and update information as records are found. Joseph Williams was a Rev. War patriot and I have copies of his military record. My husband was Robert Haywood White, son of Charlie Haywood White and Pearl Hammond of Chesterfield, SC descendants of Thrashley White b 1820 who lived in Chesterfield Co., SC all his life. The ancestry of Thrashley has not been found so we don't know the origin of that family. Two or three legends have circulated; one being that he came over from Ireland during the potato famine and his name was Parsons and he changed it to White. Dorothy C.

Hi All! Since the question has come up a couple of times, here is the address of my Williams website. This site is both the portal for the Williams DNA project as well as the Williams Source Documentation Repository. There are literally tens of thousands of Williams records from all over the country (yes, even from the northeast!) on the site. I am currently re-writing the site and have a ton of new information that I haven't posted, but will be available when I get the new site rolled out. http://williams.genealogy.fm/ Kind regards, Adrian Williams ----- Original Message ----- From: "Williams Billy D Civ WRALC/LFLV" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 5:59 AM Subject: RE: [WILLIAMS] N.C.
