     Bazel B. Williams married Sarah S. Windsor, daughter of Thomas Windsor and Sarah Warden Simpson. Bazel B. Williams was born circa 1745 at Fairfax Co., Virginia. He I am almost certain that you are descended from Bazel B. Williams in Fairfax and I think I am too. I have written to one of Richard Williams' descendants, Walter C. Williams, (son of John Carrington Williams, Sr.) to see if he would do the Y-DNA test if I would pay for it. His name was on the obit of John Carrington Williams Jr. I looked in the White Pages and found his address. Hopefully he will do it. Then we can prove if our families are related. I am almost certain now that your family is from Bazel and Sarah Windsor Williams' family of Fairfax County, VA. In the 1810, census there was a Bazel and a Bazel Jr. listed. I found a picture of Bazel Jr's gravestone on Ancestry and it said he was the son of B. Williams. I found Bazel Jr's will and he said Richard and David Williams were his nephews and left them land. I found an article that said Richard sold his land that he got from his Uncle Bazel Williams. So if David and Richard were Bazel Jr's nephews and they were the sons of Cammilius; then Cammilius was Bazel Jr's brother and son of Bazel Williams Sr. In the 1850, Braxton County, WV census (it was still VA then) my G-grandfather Bazel and John B. and Mary Williams were neighbors. A mine bought up the property around them and Bazel and John left Braxton County. I can not find any more references of John and Mary except I found an article in a book were John and Mary Williams operated a toll gate in Fairfax and lived in the old Williams house by the toll gate. An old newspaper article about land for sale was sent to me that said Bazel Williams lived in the house by the toll gate and would show the land. I believe Bazel was John's father. John named his son Bazel Leroy and that Bazel was my G-grandfather. My Dad was also Bazzle Leroy Williams. In Fairfax court records Bazel B. Williams used the names Bazel and Boswell on the records and my g-Grandfather, Bazel, used the name Boswell on his Civil War Records. I remember hearing my Dad refer to himself as Boswell. My brothers' DNA matched with a Mike Williams in GA. Mike believes his ancestor, Aler Williams, came from Fairfax and he was the son of William Williams who came from MD. In the old tax rolls of Fairfax, Aler and Bazel are both listed. on March 1, 2017.⁶

Mrs. Basil Williams, in the 50th year of her age. It may be satisfactory to her friends at a distance to know that, after an unusually long and painful illness, born without the slightest murmur or complaint, Mrs. Williams died in complete possession all of her mental faculties, full of hope, confidence, and joy; and if anything can be reconcile them to their irreperable bereavement, it is the confident assurance that thier loss is her infinite gain. With her, religion was not a cunningly devised fable, nor was it a matter of definite proof; but for many years she had made its precepts her eternal study, and a conformaty with all of its requirements the greatest object of her ????; in her sickness she was supported by its power, and in death "she knew in whom she had trusted;" she found that she had not leaned upon a broken reed, but that her strenght was placed in a power sufficent to rob death of its sting, and to ???? from the grave as victory. on June 30, 1841.²
