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!

To think that most people can't give their own geiieolognes back more then a couple of generations, yet the bible gives us 42 generations is astounding. Most folks live about 3 score and 10, or about 70 years, yet many in Jesus' genieology lived hundreds of years, and then no real written history?!?! Amazxing!@ KatyWe too live in Pennsylvania actually in N. Western Pa. to be exact. We too look for a place to fellowship, but till then we meet whenever and where ever the Lord leads.

My Williams roadblock is my GGGrandfather, ELZA WILILAMS,
b. 1811 in Ohio. Moved to Illinois in 1819. Married ELIZA MCPHERSON,in Morgan County, Ill on 22 July 1829. They eventually had 13 children, mostly born in Illinois where they are on the 1850 census in Freedom Township. In 1853, they went to the Sacramento California area where they farmed and he died in 1882.
While I know a great deal About his immediate family and his descendents, I have been unable to find anything about his parent or siblings, or where he was born in Ohio.
