This is the same family I was referring to in my message dated 9/27/2005, when I mentioned that their is a genealogy at Ray's Genealogy Page. I'm not familiar with the lineage of some of the other children of SAMUEL WILLIAMS (d.1753 Edgecombe) & ELIZABETH ALSTON, only with one or two, so some of those descendants could have moved on to Anson & Mississippi.
