Isaac Williams & Grace Roberts
« on: Tuesday 05 November 13 14:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I'm trying to untangle my Welsh roots. My Great-great grandmother was Grace Roberts, m Isaac Williams. Their headstone in Oregon City, OR, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=19944963 lists his birthplace as Abergele, Denbigshire December 2?, 1816. She is listed as born Tynllan, Carnarvenshire December 23, 1826. I know nothing about Isaac, but Grace's will (1904) lists
sister Jane b 1827 Conway, Wales, m Robert E Williams 1847 (in WI, USA? same year she arrived in US)
sister Mary Roberts (b 1829/30, Conway Wales, d 1904 Oregon City OR)  married Robert E Roberts (b1820 Wales D 1908 Oregon City OR) 1848.  to US in 1850 to Dodgeville WI. Took Oregon trail in 1852
Sister Margaret Thomas listed as living in Lake Crystal MN USA in will
Brother Moses b 1840? Wales lived in Wisconsin moved to South Dakota 1880
I found another sister, Gwen b 1821 d 1880 who married Robert L Williams came to US by 1850?(son David born in Wisconsin 1853) There is an Ellis Edwards, age 34, listed as a son in their household in 1880, so perhaps she had a first marriage.

It looks like Robert Williams, Gwen/Wend, Ellis Edwards, and another Edwards child born Wisconsin are in Wisconsin for the 1850 census - http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=667044.msg5121809#msg5121809
