Re: Williams-Gannaway-Zion
According to her obituary, 2 of her children with Mr. Williams were living at the time Nettie passed away:
On the 4th inst occurred the death of Mrs. Nettie Zion, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Shelladay, 4 miles northeast of New London. Mrs. Zion was just recovering from a severe spell of sickness which had confined her to her bed for several weeks, when she was again stricken down, this time with a stroke of paralysis. In this, her last illness, she was unable to speak during the entire time, covering a space of more than 4 months, and a great portion of that time could not turn herself in bed. The funeral took place at the church at Pleasant Grove yesterday, and the remains laid to rest by the side of her last husband in the cemetery at that place. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Carter, of the C. P. church, of which she was also a member. She was born in Buckingham county, Va., Aug. 27th 1805. Was married to Wm. Williams, Aug. 1823, who died in 1833. Married again in July 1836 to Jacob Zion, who died Sept. 1869. Her first marriage was blessed with six children, two of whom are yet alive, and three by her second, one of whom survives his mother.

This is what I have for Jacob and Nettie census-wise:
Jacob is listed in the 1840 Federal Census Index for Des Moines Co., Iowa: Age ranges - 11200001-122001
and in the 1850 Federal Census, Mont Rose Township, Lee County, Iowa with his wife, and one of her children - Mary Jane (age 16 born Indiana) and his other children with Nettie (I have a copy of this one if you want it).
Too bad the obituary didn't list which two children so you'd know who the other one was besides Mary. Course this obituary also states that Mr. Williams died in 1833, but the Des Moines County Iowa Queries shows it as 1836.
I don't have any more info at this point.... I'm researching the Zion line. Jacob, Nettie's second husband, was my ggg-grandfather (thru his first marriage to Catherine Fleenor).
Do you have a way to look for census info, i.e. Ancestry.com? I just resubbed to them and would be happy to look around for your WILLIAMS if you like. Might find me some more ZION's that way too, you never know.... email me, if so.
Sorry I couldn't help more.
