Jeremiah Williams^[1]

Abt 1784 - 1864  (~ 80 years)

• Name	Jeremiah Williams
  Born	Abt 1784
  Gender	Male
  Died	8 Jun 1864	Moore County, NC
  Notes	There has been much confusion regarding Jeremiah and another Jeremiah Williams (b. 1775). There has even been a question as to whether they were the same individual. It is my belief that there were in fact two separate men. This is based in the fact that both men appear in the 1830 Census in Moore County, NC and their individual land records show ownership in different locations. This Jeremiah owned a great deal of land north of the town of Robbins, NC located on Bear Creek and Deep River. The other Jeremiah mentioned primarily owned land south of the town of Robbins, NC located between Flag Creek and Buffalo Creek. Additionally, Y-DNA testing from descendants of each of these Jeremiahs do not match each other indicating that they were not closely related. 1815 - Tax List, Moore County, NC Jeremiah Williams listed (2) 150 acre tracts valued at $150/$250 1818-1823 - Tax List, Moore County, NC Jeremiah Williams listed 150 acres valued at $175 1820 -- Census, Moore County, NC Page 305 Jery Williams (26-45) 1M (16-26) 1F (0-10) 4F 1830 -- Census, Moore County, NC Page 456 Jeremiah Williams (40-50) 1M (30-40) 1F (15-20) 1F (10-15) 1F (5-10) 1M 2F (0-5) 1M 1F 1834, Dec 12 -- Grant #2905, Moore County, NC Jeremiah Williams received a 8 acre Grant located West of Deep River 1840 -- Census, Moore County, NC Page 173 Jerry Williams (BC) (50-60) 1F (40-50) 1M (20-30) 2F (10-15) 1M (5-10) 2M 1F (0-5) 1M 1F 1841, Oct 3 -- Land Grant #3182, Moore County, NC Jeremiah Williams received a 46 acre Grant located on Flat Branch 1843, Aug 21 -- Land Grant #3280, Moore County, NC Jeremiah Williams is a chain carrier and neighbor on John A.

  [S19] Moore County, NC FamilyTreeDNA Group Project [http://www.familytreedna.com/public/MooreCountyNC/]. It has long been believed that George Williams [d. 1797 Moore County, NC] was the progenitor of many of the Williams families located in upper Moore County. George lived northwest of the Robbins crossroads on Flag Creek and left a will in 1797 listing sons James, Jeremiah, Thomas and William. We've been working to test many Williams' descendants to try and confirm this theory. To date, we have been able to test the following Williams men for 111 markers: [1] Terry Williams who descends from George > William Williams [1767-1842] > Thomas Greene Williams > William Wesley Williams [2] Mel Williams who descends from George > Jeremiah Williams [b.1775] > Matthew Williams > John Spanker Williams [3] Ben Williams who descends from George > Jeremiah Williams [b.1775] > John Williams > Edward A. Williams [4] Tim Williams who descends from George > Jeremiah Williams [b.1775] > Bryant Williams > Jerry Hubert Williams, Sr. [5] James Upshur Williams who descends from George > William Williams [1767-1842] > Joseph Williams > Upshur Furr Williams [6] Marvin Williams who descends from George > Jeremiah Williams [b.1775] > John Williams > Noah Williams and [7] Ernest Williams who descends from George > Jeremiah Williams [b.1775] >Enoch Spinks Williams > Hubert Andrew Williams [8] Billy Williams who descends from George > William Williams [1767-1842] > William W. Williams [1799-bef 1870] > Levi Williams [1839-1917]. Interesting enough all eight of these men match each other but none are exact matches likely meaning mutations were more common within George's descendants than typically found. We are trying to recruit more samples from additional descendants to try and determine the exact meaning of the mutations. These descendants of George also match closely two samples from descendants of William Williams [1745-1813] and John Williams [b. 1770] both of Granville County, NC likely indicating a close connection between George and these Williams families. To date, we have been unable to make a connection between William and John of Granville although one clearly exists. More research is needed to connect them and to identify how George Williams fits into the picture. Three additional samples from upper Moore County Williams descendants have been taken that do not closely match descendants of George Williams. Jerry Williams, descendant of Jeremiah Williams [1784-1864] > Elias Terrel Williams [1830-1894] and Lee Williams, a descendant of Jeremiah > Stephen D. Williams [1823-1894] match each other and much to our surprise, Allen Williams, a descendant of Thomas Williams [1786-1859] was a very close match to both of the samples. Thomas Williams had long been believed to be a son of George Williams, but the Y-DNA results have called this into question. It is possible that Thomas Williams was a brother to Jeremiah and not a son to George. More research is needed to nail down this line and connection. As far as other Williams connections, Jerry and Allen's Y-DNA are close matches to a number of Williams men believed to have descended from Robert Williams [d.1772 Bute County, NC (current Warren County)]. Based on the closeness of the match, it is possible that Jeremiah and Thomas were grandchildren or great-grandchildren of Robert or a brother or cousin of Robert's.
