W. McCollum Do you have the family name Norman in your Williams line? The name Pleasant is in my Norman line. Also I have a Thomas (John) Pleasant Williams. Pleasant Norman and Lucy Norman, parents of my great great grandmother Sarah Jane Norman Williams. Just checking. Tina Williams Swyers [email protected] wrote: Few, if any of us, have completely accurate and fully documented family trees. That's what message boards and mailing lists are about. We share what we think we know. That's why it's so important to include sources when we make assertions in our postings and discussions. LDS, through their web site and their Family History Centers, provides easy access to "pre-digested" genealogy research, as well as to original sources on microfilm. Ancestry.com and other such sites offer easy access, but you have to be wary of their indexing and creative with your search strategies. Even original sources can contain erroneous information or can be misinterpreted by the reader. The best we can do is to continue to share information and sources and document and share our doubts, as well as our certainties. W.

Tina, have you checked in the following book: DEEP ROOTS AND STRONG BRANCHES by Clara V.O'Brien. A Chronicle of the Descendants of Samuel and Pilgrim Williams Including Many of the Families with Which Their Descendants Merged. The Woffords, Newmans, Hatchers, barbers, Maleys, Schultzes and many others, including mine, Jones, Hixson, Bartlett, Bell, Foster, Klingenschmidt. Published/(C) 1971 by the author. I don't know if it has been re-published or re-printed. I got mine when my mother died a couple of years ago. Page 128 has Harold Norman, David Norman, Pamela Norman. These are a father, daughter and son. They could be living today. If you think these would be of help, let me know and I will email them privately. These WILLIAMS are from the North Carolina bunch that began with : Samuel Williams Family Pilgrim Williams Family Philander Williams Joel Williams Mary Williams Henry Williams I don't remember if Samuel and Pilgrim were brothers or not. Henderson Williams, son of Mary and Henry Williams was my great or great great grandfather married to Emily Wofford. Henderson ended up in Beeville, TX. Anyway, if you don't have the book and those names strike a cord with you let me know.
