I am trying to trace my mom's roots. Here are my surnames

search to email me. My names are, from oldest reference (great-
great-parents)to my generation: Harvey Williams married to
Christina ?, my great-grand parents: John Williams and Susie
Jonas Williams; Nathaniel Williams and Rebecca Jane Jones Williams;
grand-parents: James Wesley Williams to Nannie Christina Williams
Williams (they were evidently cousins); my mom is: Mary Rebecca
Williams Gunn. I am Leigh Gunn. I am trying to find out more
about Rebecca Jane Jones and what we believe to be a Cherokee
Indian connection. We are unsure which of the grandmothers was
the Cherokee or had the Cherokee blood and are trying to tie all
this in. I would also like to know if anyone can lead me further
back than Harvey and Christina. All lived in Smyth County, Virginia
and some of my aunts are still there. We do believe our Williams
ancestors may have lived in Tennessee before Virginia. Thanks!
