DNA Research

The following autosomal DNA triangulation on segment 9:8-24 (chromosome, position) has been identified:

• descendant of son Lewis (GEDmatch M343009, S. Massey)
• descendant of son Thomas (GEDmatch A510829)
• descendant of son William (tested at MyHeritage)
• descendant of Charles Williams of Jones County, Mississippi (GEDmatch A918945 - note also that S. Massey has at least eighteen matches to descendants of Charles Williams at Ancestry.com)
• descendant of James Williams of Colleton District, South Carolina, who lived a generation before Thomas via son Abraham Taylor Williams, also of Colleton (GEDmatch A860701)

At this point it is reasonable to theorise that Charles may be a brother or close cousin to Thomas, and James may be an uncle, a close cousin, or a father.
