Hi William, thanks for writing and I commend you for all the work you've done on your WILLIAMS family. It's not the easiest family to research for sure.
My Williams family descends from a man called "John Williams, the Wealthy Welshman." I get all my information from a website published by Scott Williams and can be accessed here. You are welcome to look through it to see if your George might fit in with any of those families: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/county/stlouis/williams/
I would highly suggest you take an autosomal DNA test - either through Ancestry.com, 23AndMe, or ftDNA (Family Finder test). They will match you up with cousins from both sides of your family. If you have any other William cousins, you might want to get them tested as well.
Lastly, I would suggest you look closely at your TN Williams'. Do you know what County they were from? Did they get land grants? If so, sometimes the land grants tell you where they came from. Were they any other Williams families living near by? Can you find this same group of Williams' in a county in NC - use the census reports.
I hope this helps. Please keep us updated on your progress.
