Thanks Bebe and Deloris so much for your sharing with us. I checked my John
Taylor WILLIAMS and it appears that he is 1st cousin twice removed from
Judge John WILLIAMS, Jr.
John Taylor WILLIAMS is my g-g-g-grandfather who married Mary Catherine
SOMERVILLE 4 Aug 1836 Warrenton, Warren Co., NC.
John Taylor's parents were Joseph WILLIAMS and Susan Martin TAYLOR of whom I
have very little info. If you could help me with her it would be great.
Again thank you for sharing with us.

Stay Well Cuzins
Joe (Plummer) McDoanld
