We are actively researching our common Williams ancestor -- perhaps Charles Williams of Charles City County, Va (d. 1692). We have ancestors from Charles City County, VA; Prince George County, VA; Brunswick County, VA; Carroll County, GA; Panola County, TX; Saline County, MO; Henry County, TN; Rutherford County, Rutherford, Edgecombe and Brunswick Counties, NC; Alabama, Georgia and MORE.Judithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01611016363578612630noreply@blogger.comBlogger18125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833155229208940499.post-40259329943496829652017-11-01T12:36:00.001-07:002020-02-22T13:19:01.863-08:00<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">DNA UPDATE</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
Welcome to all Group 8 members who are just discovering this blog.<br />
<br />
After taking a long break from writing this blog, I felt I needed to prominently update the Williams Group 8 DNA information.<br />
<br />
We have grown!<br />
<br />
When my Dad took the Y DNA test in 2006, there were less than 10 members in Group 8. As of today, February 22, 2020 there are now more members than I can count. It's great to have so many cousins in our group.<br />
<br />
Several of the participants in Group 8 have traced their Williams lines back to Wales. So we are all hoping to achieve that goal with our Williams lines.<br />
<br />
If you have doubts about DNA testing, please think of the heritage you would be leaving your family. Although my Dad died in 2009, I feel that he is still helping me with my research since his DNA is getting so many matches. It's a true legacy for a genealogist.<br />
<br />
Our group uses Family Tree DNA, the oldest, very well respected testing lab. They don't do just one test, but offer many different tests. They frequently put their tests on "sale", which is great for the budget. If you are interested in checking them out, their web site is full of helpful information. The link is: https://www.familytreedna.com/<br />
<br />
If you think you might be connected to any of the families in this blog, please don't hesitate to contact the person who has contributed the information. Their email addresses are located at the end of each post. Mine is williams.seeker@gmail.com.<br />
<br />
Good luck to all of my Williams cousins who are researching your trees!<br />
<br />

Expecting to connect with his Godwin cousins, he learned that he was - in fact - a Williams Group 8 match. Bob has researched this connection back to the 1800s in Brooks County, Georgia.<br /><br />His results are:<br /><br />Robert E. Williams - born Apr 1856 in Florida (or Georgia - the census for 1880 states this) -- died 1931 in Brooks County, Georgia<br /><br />Married Nancy Unknown and seemingly had no children.<br /><br />In the 1880 census Robert's mother is living with him. She states that her name is Martha Timmons (or Timmer) age 47.<br /><br />It is interesting to find in the 1910 Brooks County Census for Morven that the Williamses live next to the Godwin family and two Dailey families with Brunswick County, Virginia connections.<br /><br />Bob is working on his Williams connection and would appreciate any help in getting this line further back.<br /><br />You can contact him at: <a href="mailto:robertgodwin@windstream.net">robertgodwin@windstream.net</a>Judithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01611016363578612630noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833155229208940499.post-31559926175734666302010-09-10T17:49:00.000-07:002012-07-05T18:04:10.759-07:00.<br />
<br />
I receive many emails from Williams researchers each month. After reading this blog, they write me, hoping I can help them connect to their Williams ancestors. It is always a pleasure to hear from other Williamses. Unfortunately, I don't have answers to everyone's questions about their ancestors -- I wish I did!<br />
<br />
Recently, in August, I received an exciting email from someone who wanted to help our DNA blog identify the family members in the photo of Isaac J. Williams and family. This very nice man, Larry, happens to be a distant cousin to me and to Ken and Rebecca, two other DNA Group 8 members. Larry is also a cousin to JoAnn and Jessi who are not members of the DNA group but are related to our William Williams from Brunswick County, Virginia.<br />
<br />
Larry sent the following names to identify the Isaac J. Williams family of Muncie, Indiana which is located at the bottom of this page:<br />
<br />
Front Row from Left to Right:<br />
* Adda B. Williams (daughter) - born 16 July 1875<br />
* Emiline Jones Williams (Mother) - born 15 Oct. 1845<br />
* Isaac J. Williams (Father) - born 30 Dec. 1840<br />
* Jennie Williams (daughter) - born 31 July 1868<br />
<br />
Back Row from Left to Right:<br />
* Marion Williams (son) - born 9 Sept. 1866<br />
* Burten Williams (son) - born 27 Sept. 1872<br />
* John W. Williams (son) - born 12 Feb. 1878<br />
<br />
I would like to encourage Larry and anyone else who is related to this Williams line to please try DNA testing. We would like to have more evidence to prove the lineage of William Williams and his descendants. In order to prove the past, we need to look to DNA testing -- we know it doesn't lie!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for your help, Larry. It is so nice to find a new cousin.<br />
<br />As a result of this email, I would like to encourage other Group 8 members who need help identifying family photos to send them to me. We can post them on this blog and see if we can solve other mysteries.<br />

The Rev. Littleton Fowler, an early Methodist missionary in East Texa s, is believed to have organized this congregation between 1837 and 183 9. Land for the first sanctuary, now the site of Old Williams Cemetery, was donated by Purviance Williams. The congregation was originally known as Bethesda Church, but the name was later changed to honor Samuel G. Allison, who gave land for the present building site in 1882. Traditionally, Allison Chapel United Methodist Church has been considered the oldest active church in Panola County. -- Texas Atlas</div>

He was born in Preble County, Ohio, on June 27, 1834, and was the eldest of a family of twelve children. When he was two years old his parents moved to Alfont, Madison County, Indiana. Where he grew to manhood and received his education, remaining there until he was 31 years of age. When he left school he took up farming near his home. He was married to my mother, Leah Caroline Valentine on June 3, 1855.<br /><br />Leah Caroline Valentine was the daughter of James and Sarah (Frazier) Valentine. She was born in Henry County, Indiana on February 28, 1835. My mother was a devout Christian, having been brought up under strict Christian rules, her father being a minister in the United Brethren Church. Theirs was a large family, as were most families in those days.<br /><br />After their marriage they continued farming near Alfont, where their first ten children were born, four passing away in early life. While living there, father accepted a call to the ministry, meanwhile, working at various trades and jobs including carpentry, for those pioneer days it was necessary to do what one could to help support a family and keep up the home. During the Civil War he served as Captain of the Home Guards.<br /><br />As the trend of expansion was westward in those days my parents decided to move to Missouri. In 1868 the family, consisting of the parents, five sons and a daughter, began their journey to the west, their train being ferried across the Mississippi River at Saint Louis. They first went to Warrensburg, Missouri where they lived for a time. Here, father continued his work both as minister and carpenter, building the depot and the first two residences in Centerville, Missouri.<br /><br />Later they moved to Saline County, Missouri, buying a farm and building them a home near Sweet Springs (Saline County, Missouri) , where they lived for seventeen years and where their four younger children were born, one Charles H., passing on in early life. After the ravages of the Civil War, which left the country in a deplorably depleted state, they found their means in a like condition and life was a little hard for awhile, but they prospered and advanced along with the country and were able to obtain a nice tract of land and considerable stock as time went on Father was quite active in all community activities of the day."<br /><br />Researched by Group 8 DNA member Ken W.

Pitt, Pennsylvania. As stated in his application for a Revolutionary War pension (dated 1833), William and his father moved to Virginia in 1762. No mention is made of any other family members making the move with them. William states that he moved to Brunswick County at the start of the Revolutionary War. In 1795 William, his wife Elizabeth Daily Williams and their two sons, John R. and William D. moved to Bourbon County, Kentucky. Shortly after their arrival in Kentucky, it is said that Elizabeth Daily Williams passed away. The death date of Elizabeth, the date of son Jesse's birth and William's marriage date (to Margaret Plunkett) are contradictory and need to be more thoroughly researched. It is most likely that the mother of Jesse, born in 1797, is actually Margaret Plunkett Williams.<br /><br />On 13th of Oct 1796, William married Margaret Plunkett in Bourbon Co, Kentucky. They had three children while living there -- Jesse, Sally and Joseph. In 1805, the Williams family again relocated. Their next move was to Preble Co, Ohio which is near the Indiana line, just west of Dayton. William and Margaret continued to add to their family -- Mary, David, Absalom and Robert were born in Preble Co.<br /><br />On 26 Dec 1809 William obtained a license to perform marriages in Ohio. The family owned and maintained a farm of 159 acres, located in the NE ¼ Section 26, Twp. 8, Range 1, Jackson Township. Preble Co, Ohio.<br /><br />* Last Will and Testament *<br /><br />In the name of God amen, I WILLIAM WILLIAMS of the County of Preble and state of Ohio, being weak in body but sound of mind, memory, and understanding considering the certainty of death and the uncertainty of the time thereof and being desirous to settle my worldly affairs and thereby be the better prepared to leave this world when it shall please God to call me. Hence, I do therefore make this my last Will and Testament, in the manner and form following that is to say.<br /><br />First and principally I commit my soul into the hands of Almighty God and my body to the earth, decently buried at the discretion of my executors herein after named and after my funeral charges and all my debts paid first, I want all my children that have not received an equal share in my life time to be made equal according to the list I have left with my executors.<br /><br />Second, I give and bequeath unto my dear wife all the house hold furniture, lands, tenements and her entitlements to have and to hold as long as she lives or remains my widow and then to be equally divided among all my children.<br /><br />Third, I give and bequeath unto my son JESSE'S two children, SUSANA WILLIAMS and WILLIAM H. WILLIAMS all his share of my estate.<br /><br />Fourth, I appoint HENRY PADDACK and BENJAMIN FISHER my sole executors of this my last Will and Testament given under my hand and seal this fifth day of September 18??

If you have a male Williams who is interested in taking the Y DNA test, we encourage you to go to the Family Tree DNA site https://www.familytreedna.com/. The more markers you can test for, the closer the matches will be. Recommended - test at 67 markers at least.</span><br />

<b>Update - November 2017</b><br />
<b>We now have over 50 members in Williams DNA Group 8!</b><br />
<br />
If you have a Williams ancestor connected to any of these lines, you may want to consider DNA testing. We are very interested in finding other Williams lines to participate in DNA testing, especially if your Williams ancestor was from Brunswick, Prince George, Charles City County, Isle of Wight or possibly Lunenburg and Dinwiddie Counties of Virginia; also the North Carolina counties of -- Rutherford, Granville, Northampton, Vance, Halifax, Onslow, Person, Caswell, Wake, Edgecombe, and / or Brunswick. </div>

<br />
Family Tree DNA has an excellent web site with lots of information to answer any questions you might have about DNA testing. If, however, you have any questions for any of the cousins who are members of Group 8, please send us an email. We will do our best to assist you.</div>
