This African American Genealogical Website traces the beginnings of the Williams-Rivers Family of Haywood County / Brownsville, Tennessee. The American chapter of our story began in 1821 with the abduction of a 16-year-old girl named Mandi in West Africa. This girl, born free in 1805 was a member of the West African Mende tribe. Today her descendants number more than a thousand individuals.
