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!

My brickwall is John Williams believed to have been born 1675 Westchester, NY and died there 5/8/1729.
He may have had a wife Abigail.
Possibly a daughter Abigail b 1708 - d 10/12/1770 Newburgh, Orange co, NY. She married Francis Purdy b 1697 - d 1/2/1760 Newburgh, Orange co, NY.

IS HE THE SAME JOHN WILLIAMS, father of Stephen Williams who married Rachel Vincent in 1734 Yonkers, Westchester, NY?

My Brick Wall is that my great great grandfather Joseph Williams was born in 1793 in Surry County North Carolina. He was the product of Col Joseph Williams (slave Owner) and one of his slaves. His father Col Joseph Williams born abt 1750 he commanded a unit that fought the Torries at the at the Big Yadkin River at Bryants settlement in North Carolina. I have not been able to document the connection of my GGgrand father and Col Joseph Williams He was born in slavery and was freed in 1808. I am trying to find a way around this Brick wall. I took the DNA67 test but I have found no connection.

My brickwall would be Moriah/Mariah daughter of John Williams and Sarah Cudor. She had six children one of them is my great,great,great grandfather Henry Williams that married Dicie Stidham. I can find Moriaha/Mariah until I believe 1870 but nothing before 1850 she was born in Virgina, when I do find Henry's and his sister Elizabeth that married Henry Craft their father is not listed so that is really what I'm trying to find out is who is the father of Moriah/Mariah's children?

Thanks in advance,

Vickie

This is an update to my post on 1 Feb 2008. I have seen information from that post being cited on other websites and it is important to update/correct it here. What I post is from my own research. PLEASE ACCEPT OR REJECT IT AS YOU DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

Documentation shows Elisha (1) Williams of Pitt Co NC. Born before 1755. Died after 8 Feb 1790 but before 5 Mar 1800. Married Martha (maiden name likely Wilkinson.) Their sons: John Williams. Born ca 1780; Elisha (2) Williams. Born ca 1789. Benjamin Williams. Died < 7 Nov 1810, a minor.
Elisha (1) Williams is named as a petitioner in the 1787 plea to the General Assembly to move the county line between Pitt and Edgecombe.
Documentation citations: Petition to Annex Part of Pitt Co (NC) to Edgecombe Co (NC) 1787, NC General Assembly Session Records, Nov-Dec 1787, box 3, folder 123, NC Archives Raleigh NC; Pitt Co NC Abstract of Deeds, DBM-239; DBN-283; DBO-424; DBP-141; DBQ-221; DBS-48; Pitt Co NC Census 1800; 1810. Martin Co NC census 1800.

Elisha(2) Williams is accounted for in the 1800 Pitt Co NC census, as one white male age 10-15, living in the HH of his mother Martha, who after the death of Elisha (1) Williams married Caleb Downs. This information correctly locates Elisha (2) in 1800. Of equal importance, it EXCLUDES Elisha Williams (who married Elizabeth Biggs) enumerated in 1800 Martin Co NC census. Again, census data proves, Elisha (2) Williams, born ca 1789, son of Elisha (1) Williams and Martha, lived in the Pitt Co HH of his mother in 1800, and is NOT the Elisha Williams head of household in the 1800 Martin Co NC census NOR one of his sons under age 10 in that same year.

Elisha (2) Williams moved to Stewart Co TN and bought land 11 Nov 1813. Witnessed by his brother John Williams and also by John Stancill formerly of Pitt Co NC. (John Stancill's father Godfrey Stancill was a petitioner on the 1787 document.) Elisha (2) married Mary Reddick before Feb 1815. He is known as Elisha Williams, Sr. in the deeds and documents. Elisha (2) Williams wrote his will 16 March 1845 and died Dec 1846. Will Book 3-32.

Pitt Co NC deeds state John Williams, born ca 1780, lived in Martin Co NC in 1800. He is documented in the 1800 Martin Co NC census (one white male 16-26)with his wife and son, we later know was Barry, (one male < age 10). John Williams is documented in 1810 Pitt Co NC census (one white male 26-44) with his wife and three sons, we later know as Barry, John II, Elisha, all under age 10, the census taken before Barry's 10th birthday. Also a daughter Elizabeth under age 10.

John Williams moved to Stewart Co TN and bought land there 27 Nov 1811 from Prescott Crisp, formerly of Pitt Co NC. He is enumerated in the 1820 Stewart Co TN census (one white male 26-45) with his wife, and sons John II and Elisha accounted for. Son Barry was married by 1820 and is enumerated in the 1820 Stewart Co TN census living in his own HH. (In 1820, John Williams is enumerated near Daniel Buntin petitioner of the 1787 Pitt Co document.) John Williams died January 1854 in Henry Co TN, Will Book H, page 587.

My research is on-going. I hope this new post helps those researching this Williams line. I am curently working on documenting the father of Elisha (1) Williams and will post information when it can be helpful to others.
