I have just received the Civil War Pension file for Joseph R. Williams. He was the oldest son of my gg grandfather, James R. Williams. Joseph R. was born April 3, 1846 in Newport, Cocke Co., TN. Until now the first place I found James R. was in Subdivision 15, Knox Co. in 1850 census. My g grandfather, Alexander L. Williams was born there Nov. 14, 1850. Im looking for Williams that were in Cocke Co. in the 1840s, any that moved on to Knox Co., Roane Co, Monroe Co, Loudon Co. and these are just some of the places I have found some of my Williams line.

Hi Helen, Any idea what the "R." stood for, for Joseph R. WILLIAMS & James R. WILLIAMS? I have a James Riley WILLIAMS born about 1843 probably in Washington Co., IL. But his descendant had a 23/25 match with a WILLIAMS in TN.
