Dear JS: I have the William Williams married to Hannah ________ but have not dates nor places. But I have the son, John, born 12 April 1762, in South Carolina, died 15 August, 1822, in South Carolina, married to Marget (but I did not have the McCorkle, thanks), born 15 May 1768, died 15 Dec 1827 (No address for her) I think I got this information out of a Union County, South Carolina History publication without any reference to where the information ,came from J. Patrick Williams, son of John, through James N. Willliams. I have just hit the high points and will be glad to furnish more if any of it interests you. If you have any more information as to William Williams or earlier I will be more than pleased to receive it. Thanks.
