Whitfield, Williams, Duplin Co., - Hester, Joseph, William
I'm trying to sort out some varied information that I've acquired over the years.
Unfortunately, neither Williams nor Whitfield are primary lines in my family so I haven't spent as much time researching them as I have my closer surnames. I'm trying to work on it now, though.
I'm trying to figure out what I can about Hester WILLIAMS, daughter of Joseph WILLIAMS of Duplin County. She married William Whitfield III.
If anyone can give me any information, I would be so appreciative!
