I trust Cheryl will continue to post inquiries from time to time, because new folk are coming along all the time and we all are searching. My WILLIAMS family come from Missouri. Here is a brief summary of the families I am researching if any of these names sound familiar, please email me and lets talk. Joseph WILLIAMS born in Indiana abt 1842 died June 23, 1923 Miller County, Missouri buried in Gageville Cemetery, Miller County, Missouri and Johanna (WALLS) WILLIAMS born about 1854, may have ridden the Orphan Train, her mother was Martha Jane (BUSTER) WALLS, Mary Jane was first married to James A. WALLS, records show he died and she that she later married Reuben VAUGHN. Joseph and Johanna (AKA JoAnn, or Josie Ann) are my great grandparents. I have the following 11 children listed for them Randall David Dolly Mae Robert Munroe Henry Joseph Thomas Barney Jane Barbara Lexington John Emma Lou (my maternal grandmother) Minnie Mary Ada Belle Well, keep searching, I believe we are all related, if we search far enough. Later! Michael Davis
