I have the following as siblings of Langston E. (children of Geroge Washington Williams & Matilda Lyles):Geo. Washington, Jr. (2 May 1851-9 Mar. 1916), Sarah P. (4 Oct. 1835-15 Mar. 1913), Nancy Matilda (18 Nov. 1841-2 Feb. 1929), Hartwell Jackson (9 Sept. 1836-13 Jan. 1865), Thomas H.(17 Dec. 1843-4 Oct. 1925), Langston E.(7 Sept. 1845-6 July 1919), Wesley W. (5 Aug. 1847-1926), Lucinda Ruth (b.2 Feb. 1840), Mary Elizabeth (20 Oct. 1839-24 Apr. 1912), Matilda Blackburn (12 Apr. 1849-27 July 1914).The graves of Geo. Washington,Sr. & wife Matilda Lyles are
in a small family cemetery across from their home on highway 100 near Scottsville, Allen Co., Ky. Apparently there were originally 15 headstones, now there are only 6.Langston Williams and his wife Ruth McElroy are buried along with other family members in an abandoned family cemetery near where their home once stood near Scottsville.There are drawings of these 2 homes on the Allen Co. website along with cemetery listings for the county.
