Before you all disappear. My sister, also researching the Williams families of Woolaston/Hewelsfield, thinks that James WILLIAMS'S father Francis may have married twice, first to Jane MOXLEY (b. C 1736, d. 1765), then to Mary BOWEN of Chapel Hill Tintern.

The children from the former marriage were:
Williams b. 1757
Jane b. 1759
James b. 1761
Philip b 1765 (same date as Jane died)

The supposed 2nd marriage produced:
Nathaniel b 1770
John b. 1771
Christian (female) b. 1772
Mary b. 1774
Joseph b. 1779

Any information supporting the 2nd marriage theory would be welcome.

Regards to all,

Gordon Williams

Hi,

I'm researching a different branch of the Williams (Benjamin who was born in Tidenham) but in this came across some info that may help you. A Francis Williams from Hewelsfield married a Mary Bowen of Chapel Hill on 22 Jan 1769 and is listed as a widower.

If anyone knows anything about a Benjamin Williams (don't know when born but married another Mary Bowen in 1803) I'd be grateful!
