So Richard Frederick Williams (1792-1860) apparently was a Private in Capt. William Wades company, 2nd Regiment, (Jennings') Kentucky volunteers. He was also my great times 3 grandfather on my mother's side.

Between 1830 when he was on the Pulaski County KY Census and 1833 when his son John D. was born, he and his family moved to Missouri. His own father died in 1831. Richard had been second to oldest in a family with 9 children.
Another cousin (on Ancestry, not sure of our relationship) posted this:
"Richard and Nancy and their six children arrived in
Montgomery County, Missouri, in 1832, based on
land records and birthplace of children listed in
censuses. The 1840 Montgomery County census
lists a Richard Williams, believed to be our
Richard, with four males and eight females,
living in Prairie township."
Richard Frederick Williams received 4 different land grants there from the US government (all copied on Ancestry) on different dates.
