Elizabeth Williams 68 F born Tennessee [born abt 1792]
Elizabeth Williams may be Mary Morris' mother. Two genealogies report the name of W J's first wife as Agnes R Hart, instead of Mary. But neither of these gives any source or documentation for this name. These children are reported as Agnes' children. Perhaps her name was Mary Agnes. Williams may be her mother's second married name.
Mary (Agnes) died sometime before 1864, when William (Jasper) married twice-widowed Margaret Eddy Rust Smyer in Texas County, Missouri.
