Hello: I know very little of the Williams. I had known for several years that David Howell's 1st wife was a Williams but until recently didn't know of her family. When I saw the Howell Bible records I was able to put together a little information. I guess all I have is listed below in my letter. Glad to share anything I have but I guess this is about all I have. My wife comes from the family of David Howell and his 2nd wife, Sarah Columbia (Palmer) Graham Howell.
