Williams & Phillips
by by way of Vicki Lindsay Thauvin
Request any information about John J. Williams born August 08, 1842 in
or around Tredegar or Brynmawr. John married Gwen Phillips born November
11, 1845 I believe from the same area. They came to America in or around
1860 or 1870 and settled in Minnersville, Sutton Twp, Meigs County
Ohio. They have eight children, I know the names of five. Joshua Henry
born October 23, 1870, David J. born January 11. 1875, Gwennie born
May 12, 1878, William J. born September 07, 1880, Jacob born April 04,
1885. Jacob was my father. Gwen is listed in one listing as Eunice
Phillips, maybe Eunice was her first name but she went by Gwen? John was
a miner and later became a farmer in Meigs county Ohio. I have a picture
that says she is my ggrandmother and has a name of J. S. Dennis. It says
it was taken a the train station in Brynmawr. By the clothes she is
wearing it was sometime in the middle of the eighteenth century. I would
appreciate any information about John and Gwens parents and family that
might be available. I do not know what year they were married or if it
was in South Wales. I also do not know if any of the three children I do
not know the names of were born in Wales and died there.
Thank You in advance for your efforts. I know John Williams and Gwen
Phillips are common names in Wales, but hope I have provided enough
information to enable a search.
Thank You
Clement Williams
