Jesse R. Williams Family


Jesse R. Williams, the son of George and Elizabeth was born between 1825 - 1828 based on census records in North Carolina, and he died after 1880 possibly in Cherokee County, Georgia. He married Emeline, whose parents are unknown and who was born about 1841 in South Caroina, about 1859 possibly in Harris County, Georgia. Jesse died between 1880 and 1900 probably in Georgia, Emeline died between 1910 and 1920 probably in Fulton County, Georgia, their final resting place is unknown at this time. Their children are
  • Catherine Amanda Williams, b. abt 1859

I have found marriages records for at least three of the girls and maybe all four in the book by Ted O. Brooke, "Fulton County, Georgia Marriage Records 1854-1902".
