I haven’t been here for about a year. I did turn up some research on my Williams family. My GGrandmother was Eliza Williams Gay her parents were James and Lucinda Abner Williams and James parents were John and Rebecca Combs Williams his father was John and Running Fawn Williams his father was Phillip Williams and Floating Cloud. So I have been told. This Phillip was the son of another John Williams that was a registered Indian Trader along the Clinch River. Does anyone have confirmation of this line.? I did post a tree back when I first arrive to this list. Descendants of Pocahantas, A group of family members and myself are in the process of joining the Accohannock tribe in Maryland and hope when this is finalized to form a western band. We have been busy! Thank you Nancy
Hey! I haven’t actually had time to get into any of your Williams’ but I did notice that on Kerry’s Staton Post on this forum there are a williams or two. They may not pan out, but ya’ never know and we’re finding more and more of us were related way, way back. So, if you get a chance, you might take a gander at that and as I go along in my hunting, if I find any Williams’, I’ll let you know. Love & Light, Lynella.:)
P.S. It seems like I may have seen some other William’s related stuff on here somewhere. Have you had time to use the search button? I’m sorry your post has sat here for so long. I’ve intended to check it before this but, well I have no good excuse! But I’m here and I’ll keep my eyes peeled for your family.:)
Thank you for your reply. I have been in the same boat. Not enough time to look at everything on here. But eventually I will. I am also related to Bolling/Bowling, Gay, Abner, Paker, Frost Eversole, Cornett, and a host of other names. Williams and Gay are my Native American connections that I know of at this time and Abner.

I just might have some Boling/Bolling information around here. I’ll see what I can dig up over the next few days. It’s good to chat with you.:) Lynella.
hi Nancy,
Glad to see you are back.
I have a Williams line out of Greenbrier and Nicholas Counties of West Virginia. I believe they origanitated in colonial Virginia. The earleist Williams was Jerimiah Williams , William Williams and Hugh Williams. William Williams married Elizabeth Jones and Hugh Williams married Jane Bell. They all raised big families of 11-14 children so lots of descendants. I have put the information on the forum so use the search tool in upper right to pull it up.

James Williams was Phillip’s father above and this James Williams son of John and Rebecca Combs Williams, married Lucinda Abner their daughter Elizabeth Williams m Russell L. Gay and they are my GGrandparents on my maternal side. I have a large file of information, stories and the like. Did not want to put the whole file on here. It is very large. Hope we can connect! Nancy
Crowwoman,
I was wondering what her name was, Floating Cloud, that is awsome!
Rebecca Combs sounds very familiar to me, but off the top of my head, I’m not sure why. Of coarse I’m really tired, today was a bit much on my “tilt” meter!:) There must be a Rebecca Combs thats been floating around here somewhere. Hmmmmm.
Well, this is really good to see, because now when I come across something I have this to refer back to. Thank you so much for putting your info. on here. Everything is another patch for our quilt! I’m going to print me a copy of this too.:) Love & Light, Lynella.
You are most welcome. There is a lot more in this file but too much to stick on here. Nicholas “Danger Nick” Combs was a Revolutionary War Soldier I have not done a lot on Rebecca do have her parents somewhere in my files. If you are interested let me know. crowwoman@mvdsl.com Nancy
Rebecca Combs father was Nicholas Danger Nick Combs and he married Nancy Grigsby . Nicholas was born in Virginia and served in the War of the Revolution in Virginia. They moved to Perry County Kentucky about 1790 + or _ Does this help? This is from memory. There were three or four brothers that moved to Perry County about the same time. Nancy
Nancy,
I’m related to the Combs’ from Perry Co., KY. I have two Nicholas Combs listed. I thought one of the was Danger Nick, but I can’t find that on my new genealogy program. I’m still figuring this thing out. My Combs line was in VA in the early 1600’s, and I think they were in Perry Co. by the early 1800’s.
I don’t have spouses or descendents for either Nickolas Combs’, but both were likely born in VA. Both my Nick Combs have parents born in VA and their siblings had children or grandchildren in Perry Co., KY.
I’m also related to the Bowlings, but not a direct descendant, and have always heard of the Pocahontas connection but don’t know how it fits in.
Thanks for sharing your information! 🙂
Brenda,
I also have a William Williams, father of Winifred Williams who married into my Ball line. My William W. was said to be from VA, but it certainly could have been WV. My own personal research is still meandering around in KY in the 1800’s. I’ll do a search on the site tomorrow and find the other info you posted. 🙂
Patty
🙂 I knew the Combs sounded familiar! I bet it was Patty in my head all the time!:) Well, this is cool then, huh?:cool: Love & Light, Lynella.
Hey ya’ll – I have a little history/genealogy on Some of The Williams’ Lines. Lynella and I are descended (on my fathers side) from the Ashby’s of Faquier Co., VA. There is a 2 volume book (very large) called “The Ashby Book” which covers alot of our lineage (although with some mistakes). In it you will also find some information on “some” Williams’; Evans; Fergusons’; Jones’; maybe some of the Balls’ (hard to remember) Plus literally hundreds of other allied family names. It was written by Lee Fleming Reese, M.A. The first edition came out in 1976; a revised and enlarged edition came out in 1982. Library of Congress catalog number 75-2654; ISB No. 0-9604372-2. Printed by Western Press San Diego, CA. I have photocopied about a 2 inch thick stack of pages from them. Some of the larger libraries have copies of it. There is a copy in Wash., D.C. at the Library of Congress.
