My Thanksgiving Day question for my ancestor Phillip Williams and his son, Daniel Motley Hundley Williams would be......Why are your children's named alais Hundley's in your "will"?? Are Judith and Mary your wives related some have said they were sisters but we are not sure.... I just sent this email to someone researching my line of Williams and thought I'd post it here for those of you who might need it...........I have this Phillip Williams married to second Judith Hundley and first Mary Motley....Can anyone tell me if they have a copy of the original will and either marriage bond.
