Your connection with me illustrates the beauty of this web site. .., i.e., .You discovered that your ancestor was in Bourland's Regt. ..Congratulations.

Your "Williams" research separates the "men from the boys" as researchers go. ..Weird surnames are RELATIVELY easy to research.
.
Clydene, you have done yeoman's work in researching your Williams family. ..In my experience, most researchers simply skip the hard to research families, such as Jones, Davis, Smith, Johnson, and Williams. ..The least I can do is post your outstanding research on my web site:

To descendants of all Bourland Regt. soldiers. ..Please know that I will be happy to compile a web page for the Williams, Jones, Smith, and Johnson members of the Bourland's Regt.

Just so you will know, my "Williams" entries in my 146-page Name Index is displayed toward the bottom of the web page ... as well as "McFarland" and "White":
