In June and July, Christina did some research on the [[Williams (surname)|Williams]] family for you.  She did find George [[William (surname)|William]] buried in the [[Congress Cemetery]].  He was 81 years, 2 months when he died 20 May 1852.  Jane is also buried in the [[Congress Cemetery]].  She died on 29 February 1879 at the age of 88 years.  She is buried with Hiram and Catharine [[Williams (surname)|Williams]].  She found George and Jane in the [[1850 United States Census for Congress Township, Wayne County, Ohio]].  She was unable to locate Jane in the 1860 census but did find her residing with the Samuel and Sarah [[Eshelman (surname)|Eshelman]] family in the [[1860 United States Census for Homer Township, Medina County, Ohio]].  She was unable to find a written history on this particular [[Williams (surname)|Williams]] family.

Your other request was sent to the Historical Society in September 2008.  They forwarded your request to me and I finally had the opportunity to work on it some.  Unfortunately, I was unable to find an obituary on Joseph Finley.  I looked through both the [[Wayne County Democrat]] and the [[Wooster Weekly Republican]].  The only mention I found was in the [[Wooster Weekly Republican]] and it indicates his name, age, and place of residence. I was able to verify that he is buried in the [[Reedsburg Cemetery]] along with his wife Abigail.

Joseph Finley married Abby [[Premer (surname)|Premer]] on 21 March 1844.  Following Abby/Abigail’s death, he married Ellen [[Campbell (surname)|Campbell]] on 23 January 1886.  In Joseph’s Probate Court record, it mentions his second wife Ellen.  I am including a copy of these marriage records, the burial record for Joseph Finley, select pages from Joseph’s Probate file, and some census records.
