Biography
Uriah “Ury” Marks Williams Birth: 1752 Gwynedd, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA Death: Jun 1830 (aged 77–78) Smyth County, Virginia, USA Burial: Ridgelawn Cemetery, Sugar Grove, Smyth County, Virginia, USA Memorial #: 76504577 Bio: The location of the cemetery is in Smyth County, Virginia, although previous to 1830 it was Wythe County, which is maybe why there is confusion. She may be buried next to her husband Jenkins Williams in the Morgan Cemetery, Smyth County, Virginia, but there are no readable headstones to verify that assumption.
