Jane had been married 30 years in 1900 and had 8 children f whom 6 were still living. Also on this census is a Niece by the name of Dora Young, 15 and born December 1884 in Texas as was her Ma and Pa. So who is she? kw

* Looks like Martha married two men named Means.
A.J. Means from Tennessee, b 1838, and Robert S b 1845 in Texas. The children's entries for place of birth for father reflect this distinction. Indication is that perhaps A.J. died, or marriage ended, and she married younger brother. Considering the brothers' birth states, their family came to Texas sometime after 1838 but before 1845.

Notes:

ID: I0211
Name: William H WILLIAMS 1
Sex: M
Birth: 19 MAR 1823 in Jones Co Ms
Death: APR 1857 in Tyler Co Tx 2
Note:
William is listed in the household of Thomas Williams on the 1850 Jones Co Ms census and in the Mary Strain Bible notes it sez that "William H Williams was born March the 19th A. D. 1823 [son of Thomas Williams and Susannah Carroll, sister of John E Carroll.]" Mary Strain married John Edward Carroll.
In the Tyler County Court Minutes Book "A" on page 104 is John B Williams, William H Williams and Thomas [Absalom] Williams working for their brother Phillip Williams on the Beaumont Road. This was in February of 1853.
Lacking more proof, I believe that this is the William Williams that married Ruthe Landrum. If he divorced or walked away from this marriage to Ruthe and 3 children then, hopefully some more evidence will come forward. Ruthe as the story goes did not like East Texas at all and moved back to Jones County Ms with their children. Need the year for this. She was back in Texas for sure on the 1880 Nacogdoches Co Tx Census living with her daughter, Jane and son-in-law, Daniel "Tobe' Young.
William meanwhile remarried to Sarah Richardson in 1853 Tyler Co Tx and he died in 1857. To this union was born two children, Allen and Ellen. And while going through the probate records of Sarah in Tyler County Tx, several new items came to light. Lewis Williams said he is "the natural brother of William" and asks the court to appoint him administrator. The court instead appoints Sarah. And one of the witnesses to her signature [an X] is Stephen L Davis.
It appears that we will never find the final resting place for William, so I can only speculate that he may be buried in his older brother, Phillip Williams, Cemetery near Hillister.

Ruthe then moved back to Ellisville Ms to work in the state children's home. Ruthe [Williams] is in Texas on the 1880 Nacogdoches Census as Mother-in-Law to Daniel Young.

William Williams is on the 1850 Jones Co Ms Census in the house hold of Thomas Williams, his father. Family problems is my only speculation. Penny/Penelope Landrum is also living with the Thomas Williams family in 1850 and will marry John Byrd Williams in Tyler Co Tx. kw

Sex: M
Birth: 22 NOV 1785 in Colleton District SC
Death: 24 JAN 1854 in Tx
Burial: Unknown
Note:
William's goes back to Wales in Great Britain. Copied by many from the popular " William the Conqueror", a Norman. This is a patronymic surname. Patron = Father and Matron = Mother.
The early history of our Thomas Williams born 1785 begins in Charleston District South Carolina and is murky. On the first census of the US in 1790 in SC in the St. Bartholomes Parish are only two Williams families. A Widow named Mrs Williams with one male under 16 and three females, including herself. No ages given. The other is John Williams with one male under 16 also. Either is possible as John is in our family too, but Thomas & Phillip is the most common given name in this family.
On this same census and parish is Absolem Carrell with one male under 16 and three females. He was married 4 times and his children are difficult to pursue. Susannah born 1795 to the third wife. She will marry our Thomas Williams. Also on the same census is Edward Harper, and his son, Edward Harper, Jr. who is nicknamed "Ned" and he will wed Mary Carroll, Susannah's half-sister. These are mentioned by name in the History of Absolem Carrell by T R Carroll. Only a search of this District's probate, wills, land and tax records will help to clear up this mystery.
One old note said that Absalom Carroll and family had land in "St Bartholomes Parish--Colleton District--on Parkers Ferry Road. Now a River Road near Jackson called Old Burned Church" [Road]. Pulling up stakes they moved to Madison County Ms [about 1815] as Ned and Tom are on the 1816 Natchez Territory Census. They lived somewhere along the Black River which is the western border of Madison County, Ms, according to the oral history from the James Carroll Williams family.
The 1820 Perry County Ms census shows that Edward Harper and Absalom Carroll living close together, while Thomas Williams and family were near by. Wayne, Covington, Lawrence, Greene & Perry County were being re-formed to make room for Jones Co. Named after that Sailor, John Paul Jones, another good Welsh surname. The 1837, 1841 & 1853 State Census of Jones Co-Ms is very telling about our family and some of those who married into it. For instance on the 1837 Census, Darling Herrington is living between Thomas and Phillip Williams. That is Father & Son. Darling had married Mary Eleanor Williams, daughter of Thomas and sister of Phillip.
On the 1850 Jones Co Census in dwelling #313 is Thomas and Susannah. Living with them are the boys; Lewis, 18 yrs old. Thomas Absalom, 15 yrs old, {This writer "Ken Williams" Great Grand-Father}; William H, 27 yrs old, John Byrd, 25 yrs old, and a Penny Landrum, 20 yrs old. Next door in #314 is Samuel Myers Williams and wife Sarah A McLeonard. Next door in #315 is Phillip Williams and wife Mildred Walters. House hold # 316 is Horace Williams and wife Margaret. Back in HH #250 is James Carroll Williams and Christian McGilvray. James is shown as Thomas C Williams which has caused many problems.
Not much is known of this family while they lived in Jones Co Ms. They lived on the Bogue Homa [Red Bayou] a few miles East of Laurel.. On the reconstructed Jones Co Tax Rolls from 1827 through 1841 they paid their taxes. All of these SC and MS Williams except for Charles Williams are gone in the odd 1853 Jones Co Ms Census. This could be a brother or cousin to Thomas. The name Charles was carried on down to my oldest Uncle who died young. They came to Tyler County Tx in 1852-3 and later branched out to the following counties; Brazos, Harris, Leon, Montgomery, Robertson and Tyler.
They came in a large group of about 100 families by covered wagons according to the hand me down history from James Carroll Williams through the generations to Theodore Williams and his notes of 1960. Which said they came from New Orleans. The probable route was from New Orleans through Alexandria and Nacogdoches. This route was on high ground and passable most of the time.
Thomas was granted (1 League) 4428 acres for ranching and (1labor) 177 acres for farming in Montgomery Co Tx and was granted a patent for same per his grandson Benjamin Thomas Williams.
Some of the Williams boys left Tyler county prior to 1860. Their is records of them working on the Roads and Bridges to 1858. The Civil War 1861-1865 further dispersed and reduced this family so it is difficult to trace and I'm sure there is errors. kw

=========================================================
From Ken Williams Tree, Williams & McWilliams of East Texas, on rootsweb:

The O'Carroll's are from Ireland. Many dropped the O after arriving in the New Country, USA. Susannah's birth year taken from the 1850 Jones County Ms census as she is 55 so born about 1795 in South Carolina. Absalom's first two wives died childless and the third wife had Susannah.... His fourth wife is Eleanor Robinson." So mother unknown. Eleanor was step-mother.
And so our earliest Family History begins with the oral stories from the Carroll family as recorded by Thomas Robinson Carroll in 1909 from a letter he wrote to his brother, Absalom Washington Carroll. These are Susannah's nephews. T R Carroll was living in Washington Louisiana at this time.
Original letter is owned by Mrs Ora Vivian Pittman Robinson of Dallas Tx. Mr Rupert Francis Carroll of Victoria Tx did the transcription. Both are descendents of Absalom Washington Carroll.

Washington, La. November 16, 1909

"Many years ago in Corks in Ireland their was a young man by the name of Absalum Carroll. He married a young lady I do not know her name. Young Carroll brought his wife to the United States landing in Baltamore, Maryland. From their they moved to South Carolina. There they had five sons born to them. Carroll and wife both died leaving five little boys, their names were Britten, Absalum, John, James, and Moses. They being very poor they were given to different families to be raised. Absalum was given to a family in Collington District in South Carolina. He remained with that family until he was 21 years old. About that time George Washington the father of his county was made chief commander of the army of the Revolutionary War and he served under General Washington until the close of the war and he was honorably discharged. Absalum Carroll then returned to his old home in South Carolina, Collington District. He then married a young lady but she did not live very long. She died leaving Absalum a widower. He married a second young lady she only lived a short while leaving Absalum Carroll a widower the second time. In a short while he married a third wife. With that wife he was blessed with a girl babe, her name was Susannah. Well Absalum Carroll being a very popular man among the ladys, of course he married his fourth wife, another young lady by the name of Ellenor Robinson. Well they were blessed with another fine daughter her name was Mary. So Susannah Carroll, his first daughter married a man by the name of Thomas Williams. [Ben Williams grandparents].
His daughter Mary got grown she married a man by the name of Edward Harper. Absalum Carroll's next child was a boy he named Benjamin, the next was a daughter, her name was Harriet, the next a daughter, her name was Sarah, the next was a son, his name was John Edward. This one is my father. The next daughter, her name was Martha, the next was a boy, his name was Moses, the next a boy his name was James, and last a boy, his name was Absalum.
So by this time old Absalum Carroll decided he would leave Collington District and move farther south. He and his son-in-laws "Tom" Williams and "Ned" Harper pulled up stakes and moved to Jones County Mississippi, on the Bouge Hommer and Indian name meaning red bayou. Now Ben Carroll married Hulda Harper, a ministers daughter. Harriett Carroll married Daniel McDonald. Sarah Carroll married Samuel Clark, John Edward married Mary Strain, this is my mother. Moses Carroll died when a boy, James Carroll married Mary Clark, Martha Carroll married Allen Hargrove, young Absalum married a lady that I did not know. I never saw him but wonce.

[ I have edited some of this out ] kw

My Grandfather Carroll never saw but one of his brothers after they were separated, the brother he saw was Britten, they were then old men. Absalum Carroll, my grandfather was going from Mississippi to South Carolina to close up his unfinished business and on his way met Britten, they both happened to stop at the same house to stay all night."
T R Carroll
Grandson to Absalum Carroll

And for us Williams, Thomas Absalom Williams is Absalum Carroll's Grandson also. And Ben T Williams is a Great Grandson. kw

Not all of the source data is listed simply because the data is a compilation from many different sources, most which were family oral history records. Some data will have individuals or groups listed as the source of information. While these persons should be credited and are thanked for making significant contributions to this work, they should by no means be construed as being the only source for that particular data or as the only person to have worked on that line.
