Thomas Williams VA?, NC, SC 1740's - 1804 Looking for parents of Thomas Williams. Thomas was first recorded in the Granville County area of NC in the 1760's and was a member of the Tar River Baptist Church. He moved to the Spartanburg County SC area and served in the militia during the Rev War. He married 1st Rebbeca Langston 1739-1789 and 2nd Jane last name unknown. He died before 24 March 1804. He was the son-in-law of John Langston (III) and had numerous dealings with the Langston family in NC and SC. Thomas may have been born in NC or Va. Thomas and Rebecca had 9 Children Langston b 1770 married Ruth McElroy, John b 1777 married Margaret Ann Rogers, Elizabeth b 1778 married James Meadows, Fanny born 1780, Jennet b 1780, Liddy b 1783, Salley b 1786, Soloman b 1788, Benjamin b 1789. Rebbeca died circa 1789 and Thomas married a Jane, she probably bore the two youngest children: Ralph b 1793 and James L b 1798. The eldest son Langston moved to Allen Co, Ky in the 1790's, after Thomas died in 1804 Jane and the all the other children except John joined Langston in Ky. Descendents of some of these children were believed to have moved to Tenn and Indiana. Descendents of John still live in upstate SC. William Lee Simpson, Jr wlsimpsonjr@comcast.net

It is important that I contact Val Austin Williams, originally from Fruita, Colo. I would like to know if he is still living and if so, have him call me or I call him or e-mail him. I want to thank him for something he did years ago. Thank you and God Bless each and everyone of you. Barbara Guy was my name when I knew Mr. Williams if that would help him to know what I want to tell him.
