When you said the Isle of Wight that perked my ears. It is thought that my Williams - I am connected with Adrian's line -- came from there. Did any of those people [Williams] land in the Wilson Co., Tennessee area? Thank you, Walter E.

Yes, I would like a copy of this book about John Williams. We are group 13 in the DNA. My address is Polly Williams, 2613 Rosedale Pl.; Bossier City, La. 71111. Let me know where to send my $10.00. Thanks, Polly Williams

The following new message has been added to the DNA Project - Group Boards board under the new topic of Group 9... -------------------------------- :) I have a book by Dr. William M. Mann, Jr. which was written at Christmas, 1961 for his Grandmother Cora Vaughan Smith. This book is about the descendants of John Williams, who died in 1692, of Isle of Wight Co., VA. John's wife Anne was a widow of John and subsequently married Arnold Shewmake in 1694. The book has extensive quotes from other books, wills, and family tree lines that extend through 5 generations of John's. The last is a John Williams who married Mary Ann Williams, daughter of Maj. John Williams and his wife Frances Slatter nee Bustin. I have made several copies of this type written, bound, book. Anyone who would like a copy may send $10 to me and I will mail it to you. I'm NOT making any profit. This was my cost to copy and mail this manuscript. Click on my e-mail and let me know if you want a copy. This line encompasses the following surnames: Daughtrey, Drake, Battle, Boddie, and many others. It is MY belief that this is the correct line for Group 9, but I am always willing to listen to alternative lines. Best, Gerri Williams (wife of Nick Williams in Group 9)

From your letter it does not appear that we have any close roots. None of the names you included have any familiarity for me. My DNA puts me in Group 5 and so far Adrian has not found any match for me. Thanks .

The following new message has been added to the Williams Genealogy Website board under the new topic of Underlined Names in the DNA Postings?... -------------------------------- ??? I am puzzled by the fact that SOME NAMES in the DNA study are underlined and some not. I assume those that don't have underlines don't want to be contacted. BUT, those that are underlined when clicked lead me to a page that says I've reached NOTHING! What does that mean? I used to be able to click on these and get that person's brief or long (in some cases) family history. Are those posted somewhere else? THANKS. Gerri

The following new message has been added to the Williams Genealogy Forums, on the Williams Genealogy board under the existing topic of Re: William Williams 1727-1791... -------------------------------- Your William Williams, I believe was the son of Samuel Williams and Elizabeth Alston. They lived in Edgecombe Co., NC and Samuel was the son of William Williams and Mary "Polly" Moore. If I am correct, then your William Joseph Williams was a General. I have that he married multiple times. WHICH wife are you from? I have Martha Irwin, a Miss Smith, and Elizabeth Boddie Williams. I have that his wife Martha had a daughter Elizabeth Williams who married possibly a John Johnston. Miss Smith had a son William M. Wms. and he married Amanda Howell. And Elizabeth Boddie Williams had three children: Theodora, John Henry and Temperance. Tempie, as she was called may have married Col. Andrew Joyner who also married a second time to a Miss Jones, daughter of Willie Jones. The children from that marriage see to be: Dr. Henry Joyner, Elisabeth Harriett Joyner, Martha Williams Joyner, Mary Camilla Joyner and Tempie Williams Joyner. Does this jive with what you have? And, WHICH GROUP are you in for the DNA Study. My husband is Group 9. Nick V. B. Williams, Jr. Gerri Williams gwilliams167@austin.rr.com

The following new message has been added to the Williams Genealogy Forums, on the General Chit-Chat board under the existing topic of Re: Another Newbie... -------------------------------- Any idea where in Kentucky Shedrick came from? I also participate in a group on yahoo called Eastern Kentucky Williams Researchers which can be accessed at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ekywilliams/ They're a great group of extremely helpful people and I wouldn't have chipped away at my own brick wall without their assistance.

The following new message has been added to the Group 12 board under the new topic of Group 12, Website Update... -------------------------------- I updated the Group 12 website, to include the famous grandson of Joseph "Logtown Joe" Williams, b. 12 Oct 1775, d. 5 Oct 1840, Surry Co., NC. His name was Col. Richard Irving Dodge, 1848 graduate of West Point. He was the son of Susan Williams and Col. Richard James Dodge. Dodge is the subject of the new book, "Colonel Richard Irving Dodge: The Life and Times of a Career Army Officer", by Wayne R. Kime; University of Oklahoma Press; Norman; 2006. Prewar experience was fighting Comanches in Texas, under Lt. James Longstreet. After Dodge fought with distinction on behalf of Union forces at the Battle of Bull Run, he requested a transfer to a noncombatant position in New York. He did this rather than fight against his mother's family (Williams' were from North Carolina, and Dodge's from New York). Later Dodge took part in the Great Sioux War, exploration of the Black Hills, established forts on the frontier. "Dodge admired Plains Indians for their bravery and military prowess, and he lamented the end of their life brought on by confinement on reservations and the wholesale slaughter of buffalo...he regretted that the unspoiled western wilderness he loved was shrinking under the onslaught of Anglo-American settlement...yet he considered the Indians to be 'savages', who would not accept civilization unless threatened by force." Outside of his military career, Dodge is most noted for the city named after him, "Dodge City, Kansas" and for the books, "The Plains of the Great West, and their Inhabitants" (1877); "The Black Hills: A Minute Description of Routes, Secenery, Soil, Climate, Zoology, ect. (1876).

The following new message has been added to the Williams Genealogy Forums, on the Williams DNA Project board under the existing topic of Re: Welsh naming practices... -------------------------------- Excellent stuff, Hughes!  I love how language history can also help us to figure out ancient human migrations.  I was surprised by your comment that R1b1 would not be considered Angles/Saxons.  If that is a knowledgable generalization (my assumption), can you please comment on just how general it is?  Isn't it risky to more-or-less equate very ancient migrations (Haplotypes) to relatively recent migrations (the use of the terms Angles/Saxons)? >From National Geographic's Genographic Project website: [url=http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/atlas.html]www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/atlas.html[/url], the "atlas" shows that Haplotype R1b1 migrated from Asia west across Prussia and Germany, all the way to Spain, beginning about 30,000 years ago.  Of course, there were branches and stops all along the route.  Haplotype I1a migrated to western Europe about 15,000 years ago from Norway/Sweden.  I assume that this atlas is very general in its attempt to clarify the extreme complexity that must be involved in tracing human migrations over such huge geography and long periods.  But wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that some of the Angles and Saxons (or other groups migrating from Continental Europe to Wales over the eons) were R1b1?  Also, do you mean to say that most Welsh (at least the R1b1) migrated to Wales from the Spanish peninsula? And are you assuming that the Angles and Saxons were mainly I1a? Please forgive my general use of current Nation names - it just reflects my limited cognitive map! Thanks

The following new message has been added to the Williams Genealogy Forums, on the Williams DNA Project board under the existing topic of Re: Rootsweb Mailing List - Migration Time!... -------------------------------- Thomas, This is a good point that was also brought up by another person on the list. I have changed the code so that hopefully with this message, the subject of the posting will now be included in the subject box of the email, prefixed with "From the Forums!" to indicate that it was a message that was posted here and not sent to the mailing list by an individual. If it doesn't work correctly, I will have to post yet another message to test any corrections I need to make....so bear with me!! - Adrian

The following new message has been added to the Williams Genealogy Forums, on the Williams DNA Project board under the existing topic of Re: Rootsweb Mailing List - Migration Time!... -------------------------------- Hi Adrian, Thanks very much for enabling the mailing list. I subscribe to the Williams-DNA digest version. I note that we are not making use of the very helpful "Today's Topics" feature. That feature really underscores the purpose of the digest version, which is designed to allow a quick scan for potential interest. In other words, the other digest mailing lists I subscribe to include meaningful topics, for example, from a recent issue of the Anglesey Wales digest: Today's Topics: 1. Re: Religious links within the family (Aled L Jones) 2. Re: Menai Bridge cemeteries (peter lister) 3. Re: Religious links within the family (Angharad Williams) But ours always says: Today's Topics: 1. New Message Posted in the Williams Genealogy Forums! (wwwuser@yourhostingaccount.com) 2. New Message Posted in the Williams Genealogy Forums! (wwwuser@yourhostingaccount.com) Is there some easy way to include meaningful topic headings? Thanks

The following new message has been added to the Williams Genealogy Forums, on the Williams DNA Project board under the existing topic of Re: Internet Explorer Problem (IE7)... -------------------------------- Catherine, you can customize the various menus at the top of IE7. Right click on a blank part of the top menu and put a check next to Menu Bar, which will recreate the "Edit Bar" you liked from IE6. Also, you can eliminate the redundant icons that IE7 puts on the right side. Again, right click on the top menu, choose Customize, Add/Remove Commands. I have been using IE7 for 2 or 3 weeks now with no problems (though I haven't tried the DNA Results Page). I have heard that IE7 offers better security than IE6, which is why I made the switch. But with Microsoft's dismal security record, I'm somewhat skeptical about that.

The following new message has been added to the Williams Genealogy Forums, on the General Chit-Chat board under the existing topic of Re: Another Newbie... -------------------------------- Thank you for the Welcome. To the best of my knowledge, my Williams' didn't reside in North Carolina.  But hey, that can change. My set went from Kentucky to Missouri.  Then, when land opened up in Kansas/Oklahoma, they participated in the Cherokee Land Rush and laid claim to some land in Oklahoma (near Newkirk, OK).  Most of those descendants settled in Oklahoma & Kansas (with one going to Texas and one going to Arkansas). My Williams line: Dave Rovern Williams (my father) George William Williams (my grand-father) William Asperson Williams (my great-grandfather) (Shedrick A Williams (my great-great-grandfather) Shedrick is my brickwall that we are working on at this time.  Hopefully one of these days we can break through that particular wall.
