Looking for John Marion Williams

By AniWmsBlair July 31, 2015 1128 views 5 comments

Born 1846, John Marion was married to Mary J. He is my 3rd Great grandfather. I need help locating his father.It is possible that it is George Edward. He was in York County, SC.

Wow! Where did you FIND THIS? I have been searching for another census or death certificate that mentions the correct line. This is why you NEVER copy trees from Ancestry! Thank you!

Can you send me a link to this? I need to think about it. This is what I KNOW:

Stephen Edgar Williams, my Dad, born to:
John Edgar Williams, (Not the one up there) born to:
William Kerr Williams, born to:
John Marion Williams. I have these proven to my satisfaction through government issued documentation.

Thanks again!

I think this is the death of Emma shown in the 1860 census above this would make John's parents: Edgar P. Williams & Elizabeth Carr. Still looking for a marriage.
