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)

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.
