Lon Harrison Williams age 22 later married Edna Omage Bryan. Aunt Edna was the daughter of my great grandparents William Harley (Harley) Bryan and Nancy Virginia (Nannie) Harrison. As such, 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. Uncle Lon and Aunt Edna were married on 23 Apr 1932 in Knox County, Tennessee. They lived in Ogle County, Illinois until 1949 at which point they moved back to Tennessee. All their children were born in Illinois. 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". Uncle Lon was the son of Oliver L. Williams and Rebecca Jane (Dollie) Chambers. Uncle Lon was named for his grandfather Ezekial Harrison (Harrison) Williams. I wonder if Uncle Lon's father might have been named Oliver Lon Williams, but I have not been able to find out for sure. |
