The only one of those surnames in my tree (and it is intermarriage) is Cole. The earliest Cole I have is James Cole, 6 Dec 1826 (South Carolina) to 30 Dec 1869 (Pope Co., AR), married to Rebecca Jane Vinson, born 1834 in Georgia.

So on your DH's side, we were neighbors.

And there's just no telling about those Williamses...
