Williams
Family History
James Dean
I
have been sent Census information that confirms for me the connection
of famous Hollywood actor James Dean to this Williams line. He descends
through the line of Owen Williams, the brother of Isaac Sr. and Uncle
to our beloved Captain Isaac. I will collect and post more data in the
future. And of course, there is a ton of information about our famous
cousin all over the Internet. I am planning a trip to Marion, Grant
Co., IN during the summer to get copies of other documents. The
connection to Captain Isaac is added in blue for reference.
