The court request of the care of the brother's children put into play the show down of "Which Theophilus Williams was the brother of James Williams" and that came out to be the one who was born later and in a different part of Bertie Co. That changes the parent to "Which John Williams was the Parent of James and Theophilus, the younger Theophilus?" And that can only be the John Williams of Roquist Swamp, first due to dates and second due to location and third due to the will mention the Can grandchild of only one of these men, both who had wills.

The parent Ann already attached to John Williams of the Nottoway would stay with her spouse, of course. TIA.

Disconnect done. Suggest adding a NN Mother if she wasn’t Ann Moor.

I was reading a little about Theophilus Williams yesterday.

Yes. It is the 2 wills of 2 different John Williams that has put the Geni into clean up mode on 2 major clean ups. So, then, now working on the 2 Theophilus Williams. Of course, there would have to be two. But, luckily one went to court for his brothers' guardian roll once his brother James died. So, that is helping, that and deeds.

Yes, I see the problem & why it came up. These people are very difficult to distinguish: glad there’s progress.

Are you sure there aren’t another 4 Theophilus Williams around ? :):)

That blog has the 2 John Williams combined like we all did til the other will came out and til the deed transactions were looked at, twice now. Then there is the situation with the same names of all of these people in the same county but on very different properties and in very different circles. The headright of John RIce Hooe 1 is the one who lived next door to Richard Washington, the Meherrin Tribe, the Chowan River, and the Nottoway on the north. It was a 400 acre plot that he worked for in a 7 year indentureship. He married Old Cheraw.
