Lucy Searcy, after she was widowed by Bartlett Searcy, formerly of Granville Co., NC, continued to live in Madison Co., KY in the late 1790s and perhaps later. Can anyone help me 1) confirm Lucy's maiden name, alleged to be Williams of Granville Co., NC 2) identify this Joseph Williams who married Lucy's daughter? This allegation of Lucy's maiden name appears, without documentation, in Alvahn Holmes's publication SOME DESCENDANTS OF FARRAR'S ISLAND (FHL film 1033635, Item 1). Lucy Searcy is characterized as mother of the bride (giving consent) for the marriage in Madison Co., KY of her daughter Sally Searcy to Joseph Williams 21 Mar 1796; Robert Searcy was bondsman. Joseph is suspected [only a hunch, you genealogists] to be a son of Henry Williams and his wife Elizabeth of Caswell Co. NC. Reasons for this suspicion: 1. Henry Williams's daughter and son-in-law Richard Ready-Money Oldham and his wife the former Ursley/Ursala Duke Williams [widow of Reuben Peoples] migrated to Madison Co. from Caswell Co. ca 1787 or somewhat later. 2. Caswell Co., NC Deed Bk J-108-09: Joseph Williams of Madison Co., KY to Andrew McCauley of Orange Co., NC, for $300, 280 A on Stoney Cr [Caswell Co.] being part of tract willed Joseph Williams by Henry Williams decd. 13 Sept 1795.
