Looking for relatives and Hugh R and Nancy Gatewood Williams married KY 1816. Hugh R had
a sister Nancy who
marreid Fielding Gatewood.
Had a son Hugh Williams..he was born OH (according to his son's death
certificate)and is shown age 21 (b abt 1829) on the 1850 Elkhart IN census with wife
Isabel Diddy -m Elkhart, IN 6-1849. Living near him is William L Williams(perhaps a
brother?) & William's
wife Priscilla. Also a Levi and John Wesley are included in the male family names.and a
L. Q.
I have found so many Williams in OH I am hoping I can find the family there.
Hugh and Isabella were in IA where their children were born one of whom was my
ggrandfather Frank Melvin Williams b 2-27-1859 Polk Co, IA. Frank was in CO and was the
sheriff and Marshall of Meeker, CO ca 1875-1901 at the time of his death. He left 8
children. Frank married in UT. There is a Mary (I think --- census is hard to read)
widowed with son Hugh R 19 -father born OH. (5 children born 2 living) living next to
Frank in the 1900 CO census.
Other known children of Hugh and Isabel were Albert b 1850 IN and Alice C. b1856 IA.
I am looking for any info on any Williams who might be related to this family. I think
they may have gone to UT and then back to CO or Frank went to UT and then came back, to CO
but that is purely speculation.
I found a Nathan in UT about the time Frank was married 1880 and a P. M. in Rifle,CO went
to Meeker at the time of Frank's death. Can''t find him on the census
though.
I will look forward to hearing from someone. I hope you can help me.
Thank you so much.
Judy
