That 1930 Wichita-Precinct 3-District 47-Image 19 of the family distorts the first name of Edna May Williams' husband. He was Grover Williams (7 Jan 1902 - 31 Jan 1945) and she was the informant on his death certificate. Their sons on this image were Arthur Lee and Louis J. [actually Louis/lewis D.]. Other sons born to this couple in Wichita were: Perry Patrick-30 Jun 1930, George Samson-29 May 1940, and Earl Matthew-11 Jul 1943. Arthur Lee Williams and Emma Charlene Greer had three sons in Wichita County: Charles Arthur-9 Nov 1954, Robert Wayne-19 Oct 1957, and James Kenneth-19 Sep 1960. Louis/Lewis Daniel Williams and Mildred Irene Ballard begat Gary Dale-22 Mar 1951-Wichita. Best wishes, I am not related!

Yes, I believe that you are a distant relative of my husband. I am looking for a direct line MALE Williams to enter the Williams family DNA project to confirm the relationship and form a family group for others to connect to. We have a male from my husband's line in the project who is sitting in an unmatched group waiting for a match.
My husband's Williams connection is through his g-grandmother, Amanda S Williams (1852-1917) who married Emanuel Burgess (1822-bef 1900). Amanda was the daughter of Harvey J Williams (1826-1903) and Nancy Jane Orr (1830-1905). Harvey was the son of Patrick J Williams (1787-1842) and Lucy Nicholas (abt 1792-187?). Patrick was the son of John Williams (1762-1822) and Margaret McCorkle (1768-1827).
John Williams and Margaret McCorkle had 11 children, (documented by a Bible record kept by a descendant of their 5th child):
Patrick, Samuel, John, Hannah, James McCorkle, Mildred, Matthew, Evans, Jonathan, Margaret, & Elizabeth Ray.
If I am correct, your great-grandfather, Lemuel Williams, is a son of Elisha Renshaw Williams and Louise Williams. Elisha was a son of John Williams, also known as Major John Williams, 3rd son of John Williams and Margaret McCorkle.
Major John Williams served in the War of 1812 with a unit from Union District, SC, documented by a pension application filed by his widow, Letitia. My husband's ancestor, Patrick, served in this same unit. Major John married a Jones woman, possibly named Mary, before 1814. He moved to Trigg Co, KY by 1820, most likely with a group which included his in-laws and at least one of his brothers, Matthew, who married Sarah Jones, a sister to Major John's wife.
Major John moved to Sangamon Co IL by 1830. Sometime before 1836, his wife died. Major John returned to Trigg Co KY and married Letitia Jones, sister of his 1st wife, Mar 3 1836. By 1840, Major John moved to Hancock Co IL where he remained until his death.
I would love to share what I have with you. You can e-mail me direct at arburgess59@windsteam.net.
Thank you!!!!
Aimee Burgess
