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
