John Williams was born 1735 in Bedford Co., VA - wife unknown. His daughter Ellen (Ellener) Williams b. 1769 Bedford Co. married John Dawson b. 1760 Bedford Co. s/o John Dawson b. 1736 Prince Georges, MD and wife Susan Wood b. 1740. The younger John Dawson and wife Ellener Williams Dawson moved to Kanawha Co. in 1810. I would like to find out if my line of Williamses are related to the Williamses in Boone Co. as well as trace them further in Kanawha. Thanks for writing. Rick Stewart
