WILLIAMS -
A group of Williams families left Virginia in the early 1800s and migrated to Morgan
County, AL. The patriarch appears to have been William Williams, born 1783, VA, died 1857
Morgan County, AL. Another branch was led by a Thomas Roper Williams, born in VA. These
Williams families all maintained that they were not related, however they share a number
of names, including Powhatan Bolling, Pocahontas, Clarence, which lead me to believe there was a
common ancestry in Virginia. Where did they originate? Is there a connection to Pocahontas as
these names appear to suggest?

COFFIELD, COFIELD -
I am trying to trace and make sense of the descendants of Gresham Coffield or
Cofield who arrived in Virginia ca 1638. They were in Virginia through the mid 1700s,
then several branches immigrated to North Carolina, then Georgia by early 1800s. My branch
arrived in Randolph County, AL by 1840s. I have been trying for years to figure out how they all
descend from Gresham. The name Gresham (slurred into Grissom or Grisham) is still common
in most branches of the Cofield/Coffields

CALDWELL, DICKERSON,
ELLINGTON -
Have Andrew CALDWELL, Wife, Jerusha ELLINGTON, Granddaughter of Henry
DICKERSON, II of Russell County, VA (formerly Washington Co). His Father was William
CALDWELL who stayed in PA after the Revolutionary War, before coming to Virginia. Since
William CALDWELL was a popular name for those in many CALDWELLs who came to
Virginia, I am not sure where mine were before leaving Russell County and going to Clark County,
Illinois, and then on to Effingham, Illinois (Effingham County). Their son, Henry Dickinson
CALDWELL, was born in 1814 in Russell County. I do not have access to all the Russell Co.
Property Tax records and sites but did try the 1810 one and found ONLY the ELLINGTONs, and
DICKERSONs listed. I do not know what counties my line of CALDWELLs would have or
could have been in before. My William CALDWELL stayed in Adams County, PA (long enough to
write the Census for that County in 1820) before coming to Virginia. Suspect he either came to
Augusta County, VA where other CALDWELLs were at Ft. Definance (near Staunton) and
connected to the Old Stone Church there, and have learned of other CALDWELLs in Bishop
County, Lunnnberg, and Betocourt Counties. I have not been able to establish when and where my
William CALDWELL died and where he is buried. Suspect it is in VA somewheres. Andrew
CALDWELL and Wife, left to go with their son, Henry
Dickinson CALDWELL, to Illinois. I am not sure if my William CALDWELL went to
Illinois or not. There are a lot of twins in all these lines - the DICKERSONs/
ELLINGTONs and CALDWELLs. I am a twin who also has twins. Great Grandfather, Henry
Dickinson CALDWELL, had 12 children and 3 sets of twins among them. Any information you
might have would be greatly appreciated. Would love to have access to these other Counties and
their sites/ propeprty tax records -
deaths, marriages, etc. Jean Caldwell Adams, El Paso, Texas

KELLEY, KELLY -
A family researcher tracking down our Kelley/ Kelly ancestors believed that the
family originally settled in Virginia upon arriving here, then migrated to South Carolina after
Braddock's defeat in 1755 ("Joel Kelley," by Paul and Alba Smith, September
1984.) Another family member had heard that the Kelleys were shipped here by the English
as "political undesireables" in the early 1700s, which I think would make South
Carolina a more likely starting place. All I have to go on is three probable relatives -- Richard
Kelley, who was believed to be the father of my ancestor Joel Kelley; Matthew
Kelley, and James Kelley. There may be a few others, including a Joseph
Kelley and a Vinney Kelley. All of these names are from South Carolina census and
land grant records though. If they were all related, then I see one of two probable scenarios:
1) They all left Virginia together, which would explain why they were able to settle so close to
each other (like, right next to each other); or 2) They were in South Carolina long enough for a
generation or two to carve up the original large family parcel into smaller, consecutive parcels.
Any thoughts on where I could/should look, or on which scenario is
more likely? Thanks!
