Williams Lineages Underway

  This section is for people to post the various Williams lineages they are working on. This is an effort to publicize that brick wall you may or may not be hitting in hopes of finding others who either have information or are at the same wall. This section is now in a database and to make surfing the entries easier, I have set it up to display 15 lineages at a time. Simply use the next and previous buttons to navigate around!

   And, as another improvement to the site, you can now add your own lineage to the list without having to email me directly! Simply visit the lineage submission form and follow the instructions! It's as easy as that!

I am researching my Williams family from NC (and possibly SC). My ggg grandfather's name is some sort of variation of Lawson Avery Williams or Avery Lawson Williams (we believe based on word of mouth). I think that he lived in Cleveland County NC and he was married to Margaret Peggy Martin from Burke County NC around 1841 in Caldwell County NC. They had three children with one being my gg grandfather Isaac Avery Williams. He was born in 1844 in Caldwell NC and died in Rutherford County in 1900. He married Catherine Smith in abt 1866 in Burke County NC and they had three children with one being my great grandfather, William Terrell Williams born in 1870 in Burke County. My great grandfather, William Terrell Williams, stated that his grandfather (Lawson Williams) left to fight in the Civil War and that he never returned. Lawson Williams and Margaret Peggy Martin seperated some time before 1850 and she remarried in 1852. My "brick wall" is Lawson Avery Williams born abt 1820. I would guess that he was born in the Burke, Caldwell, Lincoln, Cleveland County area but I have been told that he was originally from York County SC which has not been proven. Anyways, I'm looking for any information that might shed some light on Lawson Avery Williams from the Burke County, NC area in the timespan of 1820-1860. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks.

Robert R. Williams of Powhatan Co., VA

Trying to trace the following family of Robert R. Williams, who died Abt. July 6, 1863, during the Civil War, in Prince Edward Co., VA, having been shot by a deserter:

Letter from Mary, wife of Capt. Richard Watkins
Dated July 13, 1863, Linden, Prince Edward Co., Va.

. . . .A very sad affair happened in Mr. Elbert Redd's family last week (around July 6, 1863). Mr. Bob Williams was killed while sitting at the supper table with his wife and little children around him. Someone shot him through the window, the ball passing through him and breaking several plates on the table. They have no clue to the murderer, but suppose it was a deserter whom he had arrested and who had threatened vengeance on him. His body was brought up to Mr. Redd's yesterday (July 10, 1863) to be buried and Mr. Dance preached the funeral yesterday evening..........


From Capt. Richard Watkins to his wife Mary, from camp near Charleston Va., July 21, 1863

.......the murder of Mr. Williams was truly a sad affair. So far as I could judge from a short visit I once made him, he was a kind husband, a good neighbor and a valuable citizen. His hospitality was proverbial with the soldiers. In his family he had easy agreeable manners and ready wit. I sympathize deeply with his family.

Mary Jane Redd (20 Oct 1833 - 23 June 1896) m Robert Williams d 6 Jul 1863
Ch:
John Wesley Williams (12 Aug 1857-25 Oct 1920) m Annie M Moffett
Katherine Elizabeth Williams (9 May 1855 Amherst Co - 3 Jun 1882) m Archer Griggs
Elbert Fletcher Redd Williams (30 Nov 1859 Powhatan Co - died Dallas Tex) m Mattie Brown
Robert Robertson Williams "cousin Berta" (6 Apr 1862 Powhatan - ) m John L. Gardner (N.C.)

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

In Orange County, NC my ancestor registers in the 1790 F. Cen. He was Joseph Edward Williams and he appears in the census with Edward Williams. He could be living next to his brother or his father. Joseph was born about 1779 in Orange, possibly a bit earlier. He married Elizabeth Holt and had Catherine in 1804 and Sarah in 1806. There were also Polly, Patsy, Rebecca, John and Charity. The brick wall the one Joseph leans on, without parents. Was his father Edward Williams? Or another Williams from St. Asaph's District of Hillsboro, Orange, NC? Sarah Williams wed John A. Lay on 16 March, 1829 and Rebecca wed William Wolf 14 April, 1829. Both marriages took place in Orange.

My grandfather, William Kelly Williams, came to McIntosh County during the timber era and married my grandmother Nancy Poppell in 1893. His death certificate says he was born in Brunswick County, North Carolina. So far, I can't find him in Brunswick County North Carolina. He is supposed to have come to Georgia with an older brother, George, when he was only nine years old (this is the story). I remember someone named Zade, who was a preacher, visited us when I was a child (I was born in 1938 so this was somewhere in the 1940's). He was known to me as my grandfather's brother. My aunts said they remembered him talking about the beach so I assume he lived near the coast somewhere.
