    ALSTOTT, EGGERS, WILLIAMS posted by Judy on Friday, September 5, 1997

    I am seeking any information about the following Rockingham Co. family Robert WILLIAMS and wife Margaret -- resided in Rockingham Co. and had children (that I know of): Margaret (b. ca 1763; m. ca 1783 John ALSTOTT); Mary (m. 1790 Jacob ALSTOTT); Elander (b. 1794 [likely marriage date] William EGGERS) and probably Reece. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks!

    Note: a subsequent post on Genforum states that Reece Williams is possibly a brother of Robert and not his son.
