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 seeking information on John Williams ( sometimes called John B.) born 11-17-1777 died 4-13-1871 married Jane (jenny) Baker around 1795 had many kids: Baker, William ,James, Henry John,Hardin B. and others. I have visited his grave he is real and his linage to children looks pretty solid found them all in Ashe in 1850 census. Have land grants and other deals done by what appears to be him / his sons and other Williams that I can’t identify.


What I don’t have is believable parents and siblings for him. There is a few places it mentions a Father John Williams from England born 1744 coming to Carolina in 1774 but no real linage to John B. So I have no reason to believe in that John ( John B. is my 2nd great grandfather)----Help

I am related to a Thomas Williams circa 1670. Unfortunately, the information is very limited. We believe he probably lived in Newbury, Massachusetts. He married Mary Lowell who appears to have been born on 11/6/1679 in Newbury, Mass. She may have died on 12/21/1711 in Newbury. They had a daughter Mary Williams born around 1700 in Amesbury, Mass. Thanks.

I have traced my Williams line to John Martin Williams b. 1803 in Arentsville, Adams Cty, PA. His father and mother were James and Margaretha Williams. James and John Martin are found later in Westmoreland Cty, PA in Salem and Derry. There is a relationship with Joseph Williams and his son Old Bill, William Sherley Williams. I have come to believe Joseph and James are brothers. I know it was a close enough relationship for my grandfather to be aware of it, and have ruled virtually everything else out. I know Joseph moved from N Carolina to St. Louis, Missouri around 1790.

Information below comes from my family and family records. Almost all of it has been verified with Family Search. There is more to add to generations 6 and 7 . I will post as I verify it. Hope this helps someone.

MY brick wall: SIMPSON HASKINS :
see generation 5
William E Williams is married to Oretta Haskins. She was born in Franklin Co. Kentucky, daughter of Simpson Haskins. He had 4 daughters, Jennie, Oretta, Betsy (Eliz.?) and an unknown daughter who died young.
Don't have a birth date or place for him, obviously was in KY for a time, then MO., and I have verified that he moved to CA. Would love to find his wife's info too.
Possibly was known as Allen Simpson Haskins born Illinois, but those I have found do not list the correct children.
