Descendants of Robert Williams of Roxbury Unite!

[XNASA]

So I've been bit by the genealogy bug and here's what I have found.

I'm a descendant of Robert Williams of Norwich, Norfolk who sailed to Salem from Great Yarmouth in 1635 as part of the Great Migration.

My Great x9 Uncle, William Williams was a Declaration of Independence signer.

I'm distantly related to the Wright Brothers and to Oliver Cromwell (who was actually a Williams).

The earliest I've been able to trace back is to Robert's grandfather, also Robert, who was born in West Somerton, Norfolk in 1560.

Other Williams ancestors were from Stonington and Glastonbury CT, and quite a few from Troy, Bradford County, Pennsylvania.

Any other DU's descended from the New England Williams family?

Rootsweb site for Hartford county (Glastonbury):

The rootsweb sites for each nationwide county are great resources for records, photos, cemetery transcriptions...basically whatever folks want to submit and share. I've met several of my cousins through stuff I posted out at the Rock County, Wisconsin site.
