[Son] Williams

Abt 1855 - 1910  (~ 55 years)

• Name	[Son] Williams  [1]
  Born	Abt 1855	Rock Island County, Illinois, USA   [2]
  	Since his parents were married in August 1854, and his mother died in April 1955, it is likely that he was born in 1855--his mother may have died in childbirth.
  Gender	Male
  Died	About 1890-1910  [3]
  	A letter written by Samuel A. Walker's granddaughter states that Harriet Ann Walker married a man named Williams, "he died" a year or so later. The "he" is probably a typographic error in the typescript, as Harriet Ann Walker Williams' cemetery marker in Rock Island County, Illinois, shows that she died in April 1855, about a year after her marriage. The letter from a granddaughter, rendered as typescript, was published in the newspaper around 1936. In it she stated that Harriet's son "grew up and married and died about forty years ago," leaving a wife and two children. The letter went on to say that his widow remarried and the family had lost track of them.
