Seeking info on the family of Isaac H. and Mary Williams. Children include a son, born early 1820's, another son born later 1820's, Marinda, born 1828, Isaac N. who married Catherine A. Patterson, Sarah who possibly married John H. Davis, Mary, born c1835, James, born c1840 and William, born c1843. Family has not been found after 1860.

Although Isaac's wife was listed as "Mary" on the 1850 and 1860 censuses, the only marriage record I have found for Isaac is the following:

I believe Isaac and his wife were living with Isaac's widowed father Peter Williams in 1820:

Isaac was living next to his uncle and near his father in 1830:

Isaac was living near his father in 1840:

Isaac was on the 1850 and 1860 censuses in Marshall Co. I assume his father Peter died before 1850, but I have not found any records to confirm that.

Isaac H. Williams was on the 1870 census in Obion Co. living with his married daughter Mary A. Dark. Mary's age was a bit off, probably because her husband was younger than she.

Isaac's father was Peter Williams, son of Charles Williams and Ann Wilson of Pittsylvania Co., Virginia. His mother was Sarah Hill, the daughter of Isaac Hill and Elizabeth of Amelia Co., Virginia. Peter and Sarah married 21 Nov 1792 Pittsylvania Co., Virginia. (Some Virginia Marriages 1700-1799, compiled by Cecil D. McDonald, Jr. Volume I.)

Thank you for all the details about the Williams family. Are you descended from them?

I am not related to the Williams family, but I am working with an elderly researcher who is descended from the half-brother of Sarah Hill who married Peter Williams. In the process of helping out, I have acquired a lot of information about Isaac H. Williams.

If this is your family, I will be happy to share what I have.
