I am researching the WILLIAMS family, beginning with Purviance WILLIAMS, b. 1804 in NC; moved to Tn abt. 1812; then to what is now Panola County, Tx in 1836-37. From Panola County, I have learned very little about Purviance WILLIAMS. He moved to Tx with brother, John W. WILLIAMS. They headrighted land in Harrison (now Panola County) TX. Purviance married in Tn, I don't know his first wife's name. Purviance's eldest son William Newton WILLIAMS. b. 1829 in Tn. He married Mary Ann NEAL, also b abt. 1828 in TN. Mary Ann's father was David NEAL (NEIL). I have found a guardianship for Patrick Williams, filed in Panola County referencing David NEAL in Giles County, Tn in 1855. I have discovered that he was a merchant in Pulaski and was a partner of J. P. MAY. He died in 1854-1855. I hope this is a clue to when Purviance WILLIAMS migrated from Tn and also something about his line going back to North Carolina. Purviance is my g-g-gfather. Second son, James P. WILLIAMS, b. abt. 1831, Tn was my g-gfather.
