Mary, read my other responses of today, 6/7/09. I must say that I disagree considerably with Kay Blevins, esp. on those she lists as children of Benjamin and Sarah Battle Williams. Years ago I pleaded with her to reveal her source of this listing and rec'd no reply. Not sure this will reach you, either, after so long. I just ran across this section on Ancestry.com -- can't imagine how I missed it before. Even if some of those Blevins lists ARE indeed children of Benj. Williams, their birth places cannot be accurate, as I have Benj. Williams in a constructed "timeline" and he had left Onslow Co. NC well before 1814.... have him in deeds with bro-in-law, etc. in other NC counties, then in Miss Terr. before he got to Ark. Harriet S. Williams, e.g., was b Oct 1814 in Lawrence Co. Ark., most certainly not in NC. Any of her desc. could tell you that for certain.
In late 1960s, and thru 1970s and into 1980s, about a dozen cousins -- most of them desc. of Harriet S. Williams -- and I had sharing agreement; research assignments, so to speak, and then we'd report findings to all others. June Hunt, Eliz. Heard, Lerlind Hanchey, etc. were among them. I was the youngest and probably none of these others still survive.
I also have copies from Bible of Lott Green Williams, passed on to Addison Brice Williams; it goes far enough back that it gives names of parents of Benj. Williams and Sarah Battle and gives their birth dates; not all of Lott Green's children are listed, but most are...
Contact me if you wish to pursue.
If this reaches you, and you are interested in exchanging data, contact me at email tinker@suddenlink.net or tele 707 497 6682 (Eureka, CA; been here a year; was in Diamond Bar, Ca previous 20 years.)
