Search of the IGI for Richard Williams in Wales
Search executed on 3/11/2002.
We have a birth place and year for Richard taken from his gravestone:
Montgomeryshire in 1814. Searching LDS's International Genealogical Index (IGI)
for ALL Richard Williams' in Montgomeryshire, who were christened or born in 1814 or
1815, only yielded one candidate, since we must throw out listings that are not from Congregational
or Independent churches, as I have strong evidence Richard was a staunch Independent:
1*
Richard WILLIAMS - M Christening: 18 Mar 1815 - Graig Independent, Machynlleth
This listing seems probable, since Richard's first wife Jane Tudor
came from the same parish. It seems so many of the Welsh found in the same location
in America came from the same location in Wales. From a letter, we now know Richard had
a brother, William, one at least another brother and two sisters. We find a William in the
listing below. An examination of the records show that Richard, William, and Morris had
the same parents. This would suggest the parent's names to be JOHN WILLIAMS and JANE OWENS.
Searching this parish using the names of the father and mother for this Richard yield:
Machynlleth, Montgomery, Wales

For now, this information will only be used for keeping names in mind when researching
Richard in the USA.
An exhaustive search
For future research purposes, I then used the father's full name and the mother's
first name of this Richard Williams' to do a Montgomeryshire-wide search of all children whose parents
had these names. This excludes the Machynlleth information above.
