George Collier Williams

1854 - 1945  (~ 91 years)

• Name	George Collier Williams
  Born	Jun 1854	Leake Co., Mississippi   [1]
  	Eric Williams reports his birth as 1857.
  Gender	Male
  Census	31 Aug 1860	Carthage, Leake Co., Mississippi   [2]
  	In the 1860 census, George is listed as 3 years old.
  Census	16 Aug 1870	Desoto Co., Mississippi   [3]
  Census	16 Jun 1880	Cedar Township, Crawford Co., Arkansas   [4]
  Census	4 Jun 1900	Van Buren Twp, Crawford Co., Arkansas   [1]
  	George reports that he was 46 at his last birthday, he was born in Mississippi, his father was born in Mississippi, and his mother in Alabama.
  Census	20 Apr 1910	Fort Smith, Sebastian Co., Arkansas   [5]
  	Address: 916 S. 7th St.
  	In 1910, George Williams worked in the railroad roundhouse.
  Census	14 Jan 1920	Fort Smith, Sebastian Co., Arkansas   [6]
  	Address: 423 3rd St.
  	In the 1920 census, George's father is reported as being from France with French as his first language and his mother is from Illinois. This is clearly bogus. He is working as a shoe repairman. I wonder if he works with Granddad's father. He is listed as 64 years old.
