Does this give you the information you need? Let me know if there is anyone else I can help you with.

If you have any info about the following, I could use the help.
James Williams b.about 1775 in probably Chatham Co. North Carolina and m. to Nancy West b. about 1775 in probably Chatham Co. North Carolina. They married about 1793 in probably NC.
James Williams was living near some of the Tucker, Henderson, Lacy, and Meacham families who were all known to have migrated from North Carolina. I am stuck with James Williams and can't get back any further on him or his wife Nancy West. I am pretty sure they are all related to the Chatham County NC bunch and came to Christian Co. together but can't trace any further back on either James or Nancy who are my husband's 3rd g-grandparents.
