| Lineage: My ancestor was Isaac Williams, Pendleton District, SC, who died of rattlesnake bite on July 4, 1818. He married Mary McDow of North Carolina, and had my ancestor, Eli Williams, born about 1812. Searching for father of Isaac, who was possibly Caleb Williams, also of Pendleton District, SC. (Henry VIII was the cause of there being so many Williamses. In Wales, home of the clan, men had only one name, as John ap (son of) William. Henry said this caused too many bookkeeping problems, and so everyone had to have a surname, so many chose their father's given name - William, which became Williamson, shortened to Williams. Thus, there could be a whole village full of Williamses, and none necessarily would be kin to another). |

Lineage: I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONNECT THE DOTS ON LAVINA A. WILLIAMS B- 1843 IN OHIO. SHE MARRIED AND THEN DIVORCED MY GRANDFATHER AMOS BAYS IN LAWRENCE COUNTY, OHIO. I HAVE NO INFORMATION ON CHILDREN BORN TO THIS COUPLE. HERE IS WHAT I HAVE FOUND AND AGAIN, I AM NOT SURE IF THEY ARE ALL THE SAME:
L.A. HUMPHREYS (FEMALE) MARRIED E. M. WILLIAMS MALE) SOMETIME FROM JUL 1869-JAN 1874... BK 10 P. 374 IN LAWRENCE COUNTY, OHIO
LAVINA A. WILLIAMS WHO MARRIED GEORGE SHEELER 1880-1884... BK 13 P.555 IN LAWRENCE COUNTY, OHIO.
LAVINA A. WILLIAMS MD AMOS BAYS SOMETIME FROM APRIL 1888-FEB 1892...BK 15 P.330 IN LAWRENCE COUNTY, OHIO.
LAVINA A. WILLIAMS BAYS DIVORCED AMOS BAYS 28 NOV 1895 IN LAWRENCE COUNTY, OHIO.
1880 LAWRENCE COUNTY IRONTON, OHIO CENSUS SHOWS A LAVINA WILLIAMS LISTED AS WIDOWED WITH 2 CHILDREN, MARY C. 7 YRS(1873) AND EVAN S. 2YRS (1878).
I AM NOT SURE IF THEY ARE ALL THE SAME PERSON. THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS ONE OF YOUR LAVINA WILLIAMS CHILDREN MAY HAVE USED THE NAME LAVINA AGAIN AND THERE COULD BE A CONNECTION????
