John Williams (1811-1888) has been difficult to research because he traveled
far from his birthplace. His birthplace was either Tennessee or Kentucky
or possibly even both because of the changing of the border between Tennessee
and Kentucky. See "Walker
Line". Neither John's possible parents or possible siblings have
been identified despite the multiple erroneous leads repeated on Ancestry.
On the 1880 Federal Census (Texas, Collin county) the question of parent's birthplace
was asked
and John Williams' father was listed as being from Kentucky and his mother from
Tennessee but it's not know if he gave that information himself or even if his
own knowledge remembered many years after the fact would be accurate. His own birthplace varies between Kentucky and Tennessee on several census records. This maybe a clue though that he was born and lived in an area very close to the border of Kentucky and Tennessee.
The only known information about John Williams before
Missouri is that he appears to have come from Tennessee. This is
ascertained by the fact that the birth ages and birth places of his known
children indicate he was
residing in Tennessee from at least 1836 to 1839. A search of the 1840 Tennessee
census reveals only one John Williams household in all of Tennessee where the
ages groups of the children match the known ages of his children up to that
point. See below:
