HELP!!
Out of desperation, I am posting all the information I have on my "brick
wall" and hope someone recognizes him. By the way, my goal is to get past
John WILLIAMS and move on to his parents, who, at this time, are unknown to
me. I also have plenty of information about John's wife, Marcy Jane LUCAS, so
I'm not concentrating on her. Okay, here goes...

John WILLIAMS, born in 1814 (?) in Louisville, Blount County Tennessee, USA.
He married Marcy Jane LUCAS on February 10, 1831 (documented) in Sangamon
County, Illinois. John died in 1844 (?) in Lake Fork, Logan County, Illinois.
His widow subsequently married a man whose surname was BARNEY and moved to
Utah.

John and Marcy Jane's children are as follows:

1.Amanda WILLIAMS, born November 24, 1833 in Logan County, Illinois. She
married a Riley George CLARK on November 20, 1850 (place unknown) and she died
February 6, 1920.

2.Sarah WILLIAMS, born November 11, 1836, in Mt. Pulaski, Logan County,
Illinois. She married a Robert Wilson GLENN on December 5, 1853 (place
unknown) and she died on February 11, 1914.

3.Polly WILLIAMS, born May 28, 1840, in Mt. Pulaski, Logan County, Illinois.
She married a James George DAVIS on October 21, 1856, in St. George,
Washington County, Utah and died on August 12, 1914. This is my husband's
ancestor.

4.Elizabeth WILLIAMS, born March 11, 1841, in Lake Fork, Logan County,
Illinois. She married a George Washington SHIRTS/SHURTS in 1852 or 1854
(place unknown) and died on July 6, 1907. Elizabeth also married Don Carlos
SHIRTS/SHURTS on 23 August 1859 in Parowan, Iron County, Utah.

5.William George WILLIAMS, born 29 July 1842 in Springfield, Sangamon County,
Illinois. He married an Orilla MOFATE on March 18, 1861 (place unknown) and
died on November 1, 1914.

6.Mary Ann WILLIAMS, born September 20, 1844, in Springfield, Sangamon
County, Illinois. She married John Alma LEE on January 18, 1859 (place
unknown) and died on February 8, 1882.

I am hoping that someone who is descended from one of Polly Williams' siblings
can help me get passed John Williams and find his parents.

Thanks in advance for ANY information you can give me!
