You may be right as to parentage -- BUT - the William who married Elizabeth Martin does have a middle name - "Alexander". In 1850 he is listed as William A.; in 1860 he is also listed as William A.; in 1870 he is listed as Alex and in 1880 he is listed as W.A. He was born in Virginia and married in Halifax then migrated to Carroll Co. TN -- so it is possible he is a son of Williamson and Mary Bomar. Some of their other children took the same migration path. But, moving the William who married Pricilla Jones to William and Mary Watkins line -- what do you base this on? The both start out in VA then move on to Carroll Co. TN - and this William goes on to Independence Co. AR. William Alexander and Elizabeth Martin seem to have remained in Carroll County. At least I haven't traced them any further.
