*Note-the only records I could find for Charles B. Williams were for his marriage to Abby. His name is too common for me to conclusively consider other records available. Abby is enumerated/recorded as married up to 1930 and, in 1931, is listed in a city directory as a widow. I would be ever so grateful if you would contact me with further information you have for Charles.
