JOHN G. WILLIAMS was born 28 MAR 1809 in Bulloch County, Georgia; he died 26 DEC 1884 in Bulloch County, Georgia. He was the son of GARRETT WILLIAMS, SR. (Circa 1765-Circa 1818). The name of his mother is not known at the time of this writing (Still Searching). It is known that there were, at least, seven known children in his family. All his siblings, including him, are named below, in birth order, I think:

GARRETT (ALSO SPELLED GARROTT) WILLIAMS, Jr., born 1788, died 1870, (died at age 82), buried Lower Lotts Creek Church Cemetery, Bulloch County, Georgia. On 03 AUG 1811, he married Charlotte Charity Jones (Reference: A list of marriage copied from the original records maintained in the Bulloch County Courthouse in Statesboro, Georgia). There was, at least one child (a son) from this marriage, William Wiley Williams (1823-1862) and this son married Roxie Ann Lee (1832-1907) and there were five (5) children from this marriage, so Garrett had many grandchildren from this union, although his son was killed in battle during the War for Southern Independence (1861-1865).
CENITH “SENCY” WILLIAMS, b. CIRCA 1799, d. Unknown. CENITH, called “Lucy” by her contemporaries, was the first-born daughter of Garrett Williams, Sr. (1765-1818). Cenith was born circa 1799 in Bulloch County, Georgia, died 1869 in, probably, Bulloch County, Georgia. At the age 20 years, on 23 DEC 1819 she married JOHN THOMAS BRIANT JONES, born 13 NOV 1796 in Bulloch County, Georgia, died 16 MAR 1844 in Early County, Georgia. The early, and untimely, death of Cenith’s husband left Cenith with nine (9) of their eleven (11) children under 21 years of age).
ROLAND “ROWLAND” WILLIAMS, B. ABOUT 1802, D. 18 OCT 1883. Roland married SUSANNAH LEWIS on 29 APR 1824 (Reference: list of Bulloch County, Georgia Marriages 1796-1850, Georgia Vital Records, extracted from Bulloch County, Georgia Court Records). Interred in Hickory Grove Methodist Church Cemetery, Pinetta, Madison County, Florida without benefit of a Marker. Hopefully his descendants will address this by placing a memorial marker for him and his first wife in this cemetery.
