According to Samuel Williams Civil War records he was born in Delaware, Indiana. He
married Alpha McFarland in Springfield, MO, in 1867. She was born 17 Jan 1844 in Missouri.
In 1880 they lived in San Joaquin County, Calfornia. According to that census, three
children were born in Missouri (1868 - 1873). My grandmother was the 4th child -- born in
Kansas in 1875 (census and birth record). The next and last child was born in California
in 1876. I'm trying to determine if this Samuel was the son of the Samuel Williams in
the 1850 census in Delaware County, IN. This family had 8 children, Samuel is the 5th,
born about the right time. The 2nd child was Abijah, a more unusual name which allows me
to follow them a little more easily. I think this family was in Bourbon County, KS
Territory, in the 1860 census.
I would appreciate any insight you can give me!
