LLewellen (and variant spellings) almost certainly indicate your Williams was probably directly from Wales. It might be well to try to find a book pertaining to Welsh emigration to this country--even master's theses. Your man may NOT have been of Virginia origin. For instance. there is an area in South Carolina called Welsh Neck. A goodly number went to Pennsylvania, of course, but PA to FL is a long hike!!! At the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, on the British floor, there is a professional associated with the library named Darris Williams (that surname again!). It may be worthwhile placing a telephone call to learn when he may be on duty at the library and then call back when he is there. He is one of two Welsh specialists at the Library. He may be able to give you some pointers as to migration patterns for Welsh people, many of whom were non-conformists (not Church of England) and hence would not fit in nicely in colonial Virginia! Some of us Williams descendants make the error of thinking all Williamses came from Wales--it's a good bet, but unless one can substantiate that fact, I think it is useless to spin our wheels. However, your man's first name is almost a dead giveway as to his origins. Incidentally, my Welsh friend/genealogist tells me that a lot of Welsh names begin with ap [surname], ap meaning son of ... Once in a while, in very early Virginia records, particularly Northern Neck, I have seen such a name. So--look under the a's when scanning an index!!! Happy hunting! E.W.Wallace
