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!

1. Edwin C. b. Oct 16, 1892 in Brunswick, ME
2. Warren Eugene b. Feb 10,1895 in Brunswick, ME

I am looking for information concerning Thomas Williams who resided in Wrens,Georgia - Jefferson County - in the early 1800's. Thomas was a preacher and married to Annie - a full blooded Choctaw Indian.
Their union produced 12 children. I don't have all of the childrens names but seven of the 12 where:
George Thomas (Maude Lloyd); Lulu Williams (? Sapp) who resided in Thomasville; Robert "Bud"; Saddie (Edgar Berry) and resided in Savannah; Mamie; Lonnie and Alzada.

Thomas Williams was African American with a very fair complexion and it is believed that he passed for Caucasian. It is also believed that there were relatives of this family in the Savannah area.

In the early 1900's, George, Robert and Saddie all settled - at various times - in Detroit, Michigan.

I am the granddaughter of George Williams who had three sons with his wife Maude Lloyd - George Thomas Jr (Eleanor Stallings), Robert Berry (Louise Loomis) and Theodore "Kent" (Edith).

It is believed that George Thomas Sr was the only sibling to have off-spring.

On a 1900 Jackson County, Kentucky census, my gr. grandfather is listed:

George Williams b. 1836 Germany parents b. Germany

He is married to my gr. grandmother, Susie Cates Johnson (she is divorced from Bill Johnson)

Children:

Liza Johnson (from Susie's first marriage) 10 yrs. old
Velma Williams (my grandmother) 5 yrs. old (b. 1895)
Guy Williams age 4 (b. 1896)
Ammon Williams age 1 (b. 1900)

George and son Guy dissapear after this, I have been told Guy died young. Also that thier first child was named Mason, but died before 1900. Susie shows up again in 1910 Madison Co. Ky census with only Velma and Ammon, listed as widow. George and Guy are buried in family cemetery, but have only fieldstones, no dates. No family left that remembers anything
