Kristi doesn't blog about her family history, but she left a comment with information about the will of her three times great grandfather, John Williams (1796-1864), whose estate was probated after his death on 12 February 1864.
John Williams (1796-1864) lived in Washington County, Georgia. Cynthia Williams, his wife, and the rest of the people listed in the will are his children. It is an exact transcription.
