I hope someone, somewhere could help me find my Williams Roots beyond my G-G-G-Grandfather. My line is as follows: Walter Edwin Williams III - [1946-present] s/o W. E. Williams Jr. - [1917-1978] m. Melba Jeanne Young [1918-present] s/o W. E. Williams Sr. [1897-1966] m. Dora Mae Anderson [1898-1978] s/o Lewis Jeptha Williams [1850-1937] m. Susan Harriet Straight [1854-1897] s/o Levi M. Williams circa [1825-1872] m Sarah Ann Patterson circa [1829-1895] s/o Jeptha Williams ????-bef. [May 1, 1837] m. Cynthia Rogers circa [1792-????] I believe that Jeptha came from either North or South Carolina. I know that Cynthia's family were more or less from Chatham. Levi M. Williams, along with his brother Hiram removed to Illinois sometime after 1850. Levi is listed in the 1850 Federal Census living in Wilson Co., Tennessee and Cynthia is living with him and Sarah. Lewis Jeptha Williams removed to Chautauqua Co., Kansas, in the Southeast corner of that state. His wife Susan Harriet Straight came from a very interesting family that dates back to the mid-to late 1600's in Rhode Island. My Grandfather was born in Sedan, Chautauqua Co., Kansas and died in Montgomery Co., Kansas. My Grandmother Dora Mae Anderson family line is derived from the Anderson-Hollingsworth-Wright families. Again all three families arrived in the colonies during the 1600's. They were Quakers. If anyone can help me with my Williams line I would be eternally grateful. Thank you, Walt Williams
