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!
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.
Larry sent the following names to identify the Isaac J. Williams family of Muncie, Indiana which is located at the bottom of this page:
Front Row from Left to Right:
* Adda B. Williams (daughter) - born 16 July 1875
* Emiline Jones Williams (Mother) - born 15 Oct. 1845
* Isaac J. Williams (Father) - born 30 Dec. 1840
* Jennie Williams (daughter) - born 31 July 1868
Back Row from Left to Right:
* Marion Williams (son) - born 9 Sept. 1866
* Burten Williams (son) - born 27 Sept. 1872
* John W. Williams (son) - born 12 Feb. 1878
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!
Thanks so much for your help, Larry. It is so nice to find a new cousin.
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.

Isaac J. Williams Family -- Muncie, Indiana
This Williams family blog is a group effort of cousins linked by DNA. 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.

Welcome to Our Williams Genealogy Blog
This Williams Genealogy blog is an ongoing work-in-progress. Any additions, corrections or comments are welcomed. We are putting this information online to establish communication with anyone who is connected to our Williams line.
If you wish to use or quote information from this site, please contact us for permission. Although our information is freely on the internet, it is the result of many years of dedicated research. Please respect our hard work and put a link to this site instead of using our words and photos as your own research.Although we have tried to document all facts presented here, there may be errors or omissions.
We would also strongly encourage any Williams researchers to consider DNA testing. It has helped us locate these related lines: William Williams, Charles Williams, Isaac Benjamin Williams, Thomas R. Williams, Rowland Williams, Luke Williams, Jesse D. Williams, Stephen Williams, James Williams and Richmond D. Williams. We have also connected with descendants of John R. Williams who was the oldest son of William Williams (born 1760 at Ft. Pitt, PA) and descendants of Isaac Benjamin Williams - Purviance Williams and John W. Williams of Texas.
From Jeaneane Williams' research and the research of many cousins, we have grown to add the descendants of Charles Williams and his son, William Williams of Charles City County, Virginia. This family was large and travelled to Brunswick County, Virginia, Rutherford County, NC and on to Carroll County, Georgia. Because this family can be traced back into the 1600s, many of us feel that Charles Williams and family may be our "core" group and are trying to find evidence that may link our own lines back to his family.
Using DNA as a genealogical tool is one of the most exciting and rewarding ways to assist in finding your family connections. It may not solve all those missing links or answer every question, but DNA will connect you to cousins who are also searching for that common ancestor .
The Williams DNA Group 8 is a real family. We welcome each new member and hope we can assist you in your research. If you have any questions or ideas to help us in our quest, just send an email to:

About Me
- Judith
- I grew up in Shelby County, Indiana. It still feels like home although I moved many years ago and now live in North Carolina. Researching my ancestors in Shelby County is the reason I return every year and have such a wonderful time. Many thanks to my friends in the Shelbyville Genealogy House! Your valuable experience and assistance have made my family's history much better and more accurate than I could have ever done on my own. There is no better way to research your family history than visiting a library or a court house. It is the best, most accurate way to find the truth.
Identified - at last!
