I'm searching for any information about "Major" John Williams, born in 1791
NC, who migrated through KY to Hancock and McDonough Counties with sons
Lemuel (b. 1814 SC) and Patrick (b. 1817 KY), and Elizabeth (b. 1829 IL) and
possibly his first wife. I suspect they had other children that we haven't
identified yet, possibly a son James. John married Letitia Jones in 1836 in
KY and had a large family with her. I'm trying to learn the first wife's
name, and if they had other children. Major John Will

Forgot to ask about the McGee Cemetery. Is there someone I can contact who
can tell me where this is located? It's quite likely these people are
related to me on my mother's side of the family. She and I are going to

Thanks.
