My 2nd great-grandmother was Margaret Williams. I think she may have been the daughter of Lewis Williams. I found on the 1850 Morgan Co. Census a Lewis Williams with the daughter - Margaret. Lewis was 44 and birthplace is listed as TN. His wife, Polly, was born in KY and she was also 44. They had 7 children listed - all born in Indiana. Margaret married Lyman M. Greer in 1854. They would have lived in Green Township. I have a copy of some names listed in Greer Cemetery, Green Twp. Listed are some Williams - William 1832-1875 (I think this may be Margaret's brother) and Ruth, his wife 1833-1913 (Ruth was Lyman Greer's sister). There is also Cicero 1859-1864, William E. 1863-1878 and Amanda J. 1865-1865. They must have been William and Ruth's children? Does anyone have anything on this Williams family? I've just only started to look for them.

Hi,
In my files I show:
Liddia Helton m. to Wyatt Hulen August 28, 1835, Morgan Co., IN. I'm not showing who my source was for this marriage, so I'll have to look it up. But, I don't have the Norman family connection. This was probably sent to me by a cousin...minus a few facts about Liddia/Lydia or so it would seem.

My ancestor, Enoch Myers, was a brother of Charity and Mary Magdalena Myers. He married Sallie (Sarah) Secrest (Seachrest, Secrist, etc.) of whom we know next to nothing. They eventually settled in Allen County, Kansas.
I'd never known who the spouse of Charity and Mary Magdalena were until I came across these emails. We have some Myers descendents online at:

and I would be happy to add other info and contact people.
