Additional Comments:
Francis Williams of Bertie county - He was the grandfather of Rev B. B. Williams 
of Colerain, Bertie NC. 

Francis would have been my 4th Great Grandfather - Still trying to locate the 
grave site for the Rev Benjamin Brown Williams who founded Mars Hill Baptist 
Church. There maybe a headstone for a small child in front of the family home 
with the name "Hermon Mitchell". Rev B. B. Williams is supposedly buried behind 
the same home in a field with a tall memorial headstone. If anyone is aware of 
the location of this site, please contact me.
