Message Board Post:
The Wlliams line that I am in search of came originally from the Devonshire area. The
family came from a long line of traveling gypsies. Most were believed to have been horse
traders, basket weavers and fortune tellers.
The great great grandfather was William Williams, who had a son named Thomas Williams.
Thomas was born in Devonshire and married at around 16 years of age to a woman named Mary
Defience Burton. They left and came to America some time around 1851 - 1853, setteling in
Connecticut. I wish that I could learn more of the ancestoral history of this line. Any
help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ruth
