                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                        Friday, August 12, 2022

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
family legacy of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Louella Williams' family tree.
  The recorded history of Doc and Rebecca Williams and Frank and 
Louella Williams, sons, and daughters of Mississippi soil with roots in 
Yazoo County emanates from the Phillip Plantation, now known as the 
Phillip Farm, located in Yazoo County in Mississippi's Second 
Congressional District. Their descendants, Tommie, ``Doc James, Frank, 
Jr., Magnolia, Randolph, Laura, Lillie, and Adam (A.C.) and their sons 
and daughters have borne fruit up to the 7th generation of progeny with 
Mississippi ties.
  The Williams Family descendants from Mississippi, Illinois, Indiana, 
New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas gathered in 
Washington, D.C., our Nation's Capital, to celebrate family and history 
in the month of July 2022.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the family 
legacy of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Louella Williams.
