Comments
Robert Williams was my gggrandfather and his son James Farris was my ggrandfather. Have we talked before?
I e-mailed you once, but I'm not sure if you got it. I have information before Major Robert J Williams. His second marriage was to Miss Laura Perkins in 1892, they had one son, James Farris Williams. Robert Williams owned all of the land Swanwick was built on, and built a lovely colonial home. He was a tie contractor and built up an extensive business with the railroad. Is the Robert J Williams you are looking for? Karen Missouri
