Notes

  • -------------------------
    A Nathaniel and Rebecca Williams are enumerated in the 1880 census in Pickens County, South Carolina.  It appeared this matched our Nathaniel and Rebecca.  They also have a daughter Susan matching our Susan Williams who married Jacob Jenkins in Arkansas County, Arkansas.  But our Nathaniel and Rebecca were in Attala County, Mississippi in 1880.  See the record below this inset.

    However, other information that turned up related to this family and a Find a Grave memorial for Miriam Rebecca Bobo Williams indicates this a different Nathaniel and Rebecca.  The memorial for Nathaniel Jefferson Williams, matching this census, is linked to a memorial for his wife under the name of Rebecca Edens Williams.  A memorial on Find a Grave in the name Miriam Rebecca Bobo has her husband named as Nathaniel G WIlliams.  Miriam Rebecca's memorial is not linked to a memorial for her husband.  That grave has different birth and death dates than those for Rebecca Edens Williams.
