Looking for great-great grandfather John Adcock Williams born 1820 North Carolina or South Carolina (family history says his parents came to North Carolina from Scotland---though his mother was supposed to be Indian, but his enlistment papers say he was born in South Carolina). Sometime after John's birth parents moved to MS---probably what became Choctaw County Area---in fact I suspect that if his mother was Indian---she was actually born in MS---have no record of John's parents or of John(except for enlistment in Confederacy) until about 1868 when he married---3 wives within about 5 years time. Mary L. Fletcher born after 1840 (her last name may have been Peeples) had one child Mary Etta b. Sept 29, 1869 sometime after Mary Etta was born or before John also married Cynthia Henley Johnson (she had two small boys from previous marriage) If I have found her correct parents her first name is Margaret) (Her identical twin was Martha) John and Cynthia had two boys. Oliver Monroe Dec. 8, 1869 Walter Asberry March 15, 1871 John left Cynthia when Walter was still a baby John then married Mary L. Peeples or Fletcher---(I think Mary L Fletcher and Peeples were the same person ---Peeples was maiden name and while John was married to Cynthia Mary was married to a Fletcher---partly because of date of birth(have in notes somewhere) and fact that Etta and youngest daughter seemed to have had the same mother) they had two children at least Cal Leatha Carolina b April 1882 John spent the last of his years living with daughter Mary Etta Williams Horton in Eupora, MS. He and Cynthia both died in 1902 within months of each other---and if I read the info correctly Mary L. Peeples applied for his Civil War pension. Sorry this is so convoluted...but does anyone know this John Adcock Williams? lee
