My first introduction to this part of the family was way back when I was just getting started with genealogy. My grandmother showed me the family bible and seeing all those names and dates written in there was so confusing. First, they have common names – do you know how many John Williams there were!? And then they keep re-using the same names in each generation. And they had a lot of kids and a lot of marriages as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Then later my great-aunt Margaret gave me a sheet that was typed up by Edith Vollmer, which helped a bit. In addition to listing the children of John’s two marriages, Vollmer reported that John and Martha lived in Chester and later Manchester. He ran a livery stable and when it burned he used the insurance money to immigrate to America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this is what I have sorted out – first Edward and Jane had 12 children. Then John Williams was married to Martha Charmly and they had nine children and then he married Margaret Emma Jones and they had seven children. Margaret supposedly had been married before as well, but I haven’t found anything on that yet. Check it out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
