Lon Harrison Williams age 22 later married Edna Omage Bryan. Aunt Edna was the sister of my grandfather Emmert Oral Bryan. Uncle Lon was from Jefferson County, Tennessee. I don't know who the Martin family was, but I would suspect that they also were from Jefferson County. It is a part of oral family history that Uncle Lon and Aunt Edna worked extremely hard farming in Illinois and thereby "made their fortune". I don't know how long they stayed in Illinois, but they had returned to Tennessee by the time I can remember them. Uncle Lon was the son of Oliver Williams and Dollie. Uncle Lon was named for his grandfather Ezekial Harrison (Harrison) Williams. |
