John Williams b.1645 in either Gloustershire, England or Northern Wales (Note: his parentage is unknown.}
His father's name was probably either William or Thomas.
He had kinsmen named Thomas Williams, and perhaps another named Lewis Williams (as well as others}.
It is probable that John Williams had knowledge of relatives in Virginia and that could have been one of the reasons he chose Virginia, rather than the wealthier colonies in the British West Indies.
Around 1640, King Charles I of England actively persecuted nonconforming churches. His actions drove near 3000 Puritans out of England to establish homes in the wilderness of New England. English government was in turmoil, the king government was replaced with a commonwealth form of government with Cromwell as protectorage - he was essentially a dictator. John Williams, Sr was able to sign his own signature and was probably apprenticed out to learn a trade. His eldest son, John Williams Jr. was a weaver and that trade was perhaps the same skill
that John Williams Sr. was taught. Most boys were apprenticed to a master until they reached 18 years old.
By the time that John Williams was a young man of 18 [1663], his prospects of financial success was dim. The Bubonic Plague broke out in 1665 and in 1666, the Great London Fire ravaged the city. In less that six weeks after the Great Fire of London, John Williams headed for America and was bound for Virginia. Bristol was the seaport where many emigrants left England. John Williams was only of of ten thousands to leave.
There were brokers who signed people to contracts who were willing to work after leaving Great Britain. This contract was called an Indenture.
The Virginia Colonial Assembly had passed a law giving each new immigrant a 'headright' grant of fifty acres. There was a requirement that one had to get there and stay there three years. At 6-pounds cost, the fare to Virginia was more than most working people made in six months to a year.
The Virginia Colony needed laborers to clear the land, plant crops and help fight the Indians. John Williams decided to sign a contract of indenture to Captain William Butler of Surry County,VA. Two other young men, John Moor [Moore] and Rowland Pitt, also signed an indenture to Captain Butler for four years each. These three continued to be friends in VA once their indenture contract was fulfilled. They settled as neighbors in Surry County and in Isle of Wight. Two of their children, John Williams Jr. and Ann Moore even married and they shared grandchildren.
John Williams brother Lewis Williams probably lived in Surry County,VA and died in 1678.
John Moor has land records that showed is was called a 'shoemaker'.
Another indentured servant, Nicholas Sessums sailed for the new land and had a daughter who married Lewis Williams son, William Williams.
Some of Sessums descendants followed the Williams family to the Cashia River area of NC.
Surry County was sparsely settled when John Williams arrived, probably in early 1667.
The story from the blog indicates that he married around 1671 to Anne [Vasser] who was probably the daughter of a nearby settler of Lawnes Creek area.
John Williams b.1645 d.~1692(age47} (John Williams Sr. probably died in his 40's because he worked so hard all of his life.}
In 1678, John Williams Sr. received a land patent of 925 acres in Isle of Wight County.
Over the next four year, he purchased with his brother, Thomas, a 400 acre tract on Jenkin's Swamp ~2 miles south of his 1678 patent.
This deed is the first evidence that John Williams had a kinsman in VA.

{G1-10/JohnWSr-and-Anne} Theopilus Williams, b.~1691;d.about 1693(age2} (May have died of measles outbreak in colony.)
Theopilus Note:Theophilus Williams was an infant maybe under 2 years old when his father died in 1692. John Williams Sr. left to him 'the manor plantation' after his mother Anne Williams passed away. The 'said manor plantation' is to descend to my youngest son Theophilus Williams and the hyres of his body truely begotten and in case John Williams wishes to take manor plantation then Theophilus to enjoy the plantation in Surry County that John Williams is now seated containing one hundred and fifty acres.”
When his mother made a deed of gift to her children in 1694 upon her impending marriage to Arnold Shumacke, Theophilus Williams is not mentioned. It is presumed that this child died prior to April 1694. His oldest brother John Williams Jr named his second son Theophilus probably in honor of the memory of this child. I suspect that he was buried next to his father on the 'manor plantation' at the head of Burgh's Swamp. The name Theophilus suggests that his mother was at least a Quaker as the Quakers often named children after figures in the New Testament as opposed Puritans and Anglicans.

{G6-4B7a3L/WW-and-ER} James 'Lawrence' Williams, b.28Sep1825 in SCBarnwellDist,Swallow-Savannah, d.04Jan1900(age74}, buried in SCAllendale,Swallow-Savannah Methodist Church Cemetery
He was ~10 years old when his father died and he barely knew half his siblings, except for perhape Winifred Riley. His half-brother, William Green Williams, was grown and married when Lawrence was born and had moved away when Lawrencce was ~13 years old.
He was the youngest surviving son of Wilson Williams and the only surviving son of his wife, Esther Roberts Williams. When Wilson died in Dec1835, his personal estate was sold for division among his legatees. The records do not show how much acreage Lawrence inherited when the estate was settled in 1854, but he received cash $334.19
Wilson's wife Elizabeth Kirkland was first cousin to Lydia Kirkland who was Lawrence's mother-in-law
Lawrence was one of the first citizens of SCAllendale town. The old community of Allendale township was calledBuddenville at one time with the Post Office address of Allendale in Census Records.
Much of the town of Allendale was located on his widowed mother's inherited estates. Lawrence contributed a great deal to the development of the present town of Allandale and he was part of its first government.
He was on a committee of three to legally organize and establish the town. He gave 50 acres in 1872 for the town and laid out the street plans on the deed record.
Lawrence Williams is in the deed records of BarnwellCo as selling many lots within the town limits which made him a wealthy man. He even set up his three sons in business in business in Allendale.
His mother gave him 20 shares of stock in the Port Royal Railroad, which were later worthless.
27Oct1878, Lawrence was listed as a member of Swallow-Savannah Methodist Ch and on 24Apr1881 he paid $12.15 for a cemetery fence for the Swallow-Savannah Methodist Ch cemetery.
10Nov1887, he was on the building committee of Swallow-Savannah Methodist Ch and he gave the land for the Swallow-Savnnah Methodist Ch in 1890, however this wooden building was destroyed by fire in 1942.
In Lawrence Williams' will, he seemed unfair in the bequests of his early possessions. There were 6 deeds in the estate papers, also surveyors' fees, which indicate the property division was for six legatees. The total of his property sale was $3,637.82
There is a marble monument to James Lawrence Williams and Ellen Lydia Williams in the Williams plot that is enclosed with a wrought iron grillwork fence in Swallow-Savannah Cemetery. His estate paper stated that he paid $60 for the marker.
Lawrence deeded his home place to his son, Paul Allen Williams. Paul's spinster daughter, Lena Williams, lived there until her death in 1963. The house stood empty after that and all out buildings are gone. Vandals left the place in sad repair.
It sits on an overgrown lot in the center of what was Allendale's nicest residential area. The home was one of Allendale's historical landmarks that should have been restored and preserved.
The property is currently owned by Mrs. Richard Moorer of SCReevesville and her brother, Dr. Herbert Smoak of SCOrangeburg great-grandchildren of James Lawrence Williams

He received an equal share of father James Lawrence Williams' estate but nuch much from special bequests in the will--just a gold watch that was already in his possession.
He is recorded as owing money and father picked up deficit accounts for him. The executor of the estate (in the final papers) denies one of these. His cash share was $707.54
His share of land was deeded to him prior to his father's death.

John Williams of SCBarnwellCo,Ulmer (myWilliamsSouthernRoots.Blogspot.com/2017_08_12_archive.html)
John Williams was a successful Planter on his own right with descendants still living in South Carolina. One of them, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis of Greenville (deceased}, had contributed
greatly to the gathering of information about Wilson Williams’s family.
John Williams was an extensive land and slave owner who also had a large family by two wives. The descendants of John Williams of which there are many firmly believe that John Williams,
planter in the area of Ulmer, is the son of Wilson Williams and therefore included in this research. However while John Williams is mentioned in the settlement of Wilson's estate he is
not listed as an heir.
They explain the discrepancy of John Williams saying he was 70 years old in the 1850 census by believing that Wilson Williams had to have been born prior to 1760. This is not borne out
by census records. John Williams' age, given in censuses from 1810 through 1850, list him as being born circa 1780 which would make it impossible for him to have been the son of
Wilson Williams considering other census records give Wilson as being born circa 1770.
Working backwards, the 1850 census states that John Williams's age as being 70 years old. The 1840 Census listed John Williams as even older born between 1771 and 1780. This would have
placed him the same age rage as the birth of father, if Wilson was his father. The 1830 census makes the same claim as that of the 1840, that John Williams' birth range was between
1771 and 1780. The 1820 census has him born between 1776 and 1794. The first census in which John Williams is found as head of a household is in 1810. There he is listed as born
between 1766 and 1784. In that census he is also listed with four children under the age of 10 showing that he was married at least by 1800.
In the same 1810 census Wilson Williams is listed in the same age category as John Williams having been born between 1766 and 1784. All this information does not fit for John to have
been a son of Wilson Williams. The only other conclusion, that might be drawn from these censuses, is that John Williams was not a son of Wilson Williams at all but rather an infant
son of Britton Williams who died in 1781 and was raised in Wilson's mother's household. He is most likely the male under 16 years listed in the 1790 census under the household of
Wilson Williams. Still it is an enigma. Nevertheless the multitude of descendants of John Williams insist that he was a son of Wilson Williams and that Wilson was much older than
stated in the census records.
Information on SCUlmer: The community now known as Ulmer goes back for many years and is located in northeastern Allendale County where US 301 and US 321 converge.. The surrounding lands
belonged to only two persons, Ephraim Ulmer and John Williams. There are authentic records dating back to the 1700s.
When the citizens were choosing a name for their town, the land around the train depot was owned by two men, Ephraim Ulmer and a grandson of John Williams. The plans for the town's new
business district encroached more on Mr. Ulmer's property than on Mr. Williams'. Mr. Ulmer agreed to give up his acreage in exchange for having the new town named for him.The first
building in Ulmer was erected on the banks of the Salkehatchie River. The site was near a settlement known as Buford's Bridge - which was there prior to the Revolutionary War.
The ancestral home of the John Williams family still stands. It was lived in until sometime in the 1950s. Known as the Williams House it was added to the National Register of Historic
Places in 1999. "In years gone by, Burtons Ferry Highway (US 301} was the major road from Columbia to Savannah running right through Ulmer and Allendale. Many motels, gas stations,
and small groceries prospered along the route. Then along came I-26 and I-95 and overnight the commerce along this route dried up. The filling station-grocery pictured here, located in
uptown Ulmer, is of a style typical of the 1940s. As the sign indicates it has been closed for a while, and its gas pumps removed. The single pump island is intact except for some
wildflowers which have pushed through cracks in the cement. Although its highway commerce is gone, Ulmer has been around for many years and from all indications its industrial and
agricultural production are still going strong." In the 2010 census the population of the community was only 88 people.
Great Salkehatchie Baptist Church at SCUlmer-John Williams was a member. It was organized 19Jan1790. The first building was erected on the banks of the river and given the Indian
name--Great Salkehatchie. The site was near a settlement known as Buford’s Bridge, settled prior to the Revolutionary War. The first pastors for this church were Rev. Holcombe and
Rev. James Sweat. The original church building was destroyed by Sherman’s Army and lumber was used to build bridges on his march through the South Carolina. It was later rebuilt but then in 1915 a new site was selected in the town of Ulmer.
John Williams House: John Williams built a two story house in 1810 located in present day Ulmers. It still stands but some of the lumber was taken out of the old structure.
The Williams House had an addition built on circa. 1906. It is a farmhouse consisting of one and one-half story, with three-bay, lateral gable-roofed, log and clapboard hall and parlor.
The house’s exterior walls are of log construction covered with clapboards. There is no evidence of chinking. The floor joists consist of undressed logs resting on heavy hand-hewn plates
and sills atop brick piers. The main body of the house consists of two rooms measuring approximately 30 feet by 16 feet. The larger of the two rooms on the first floor had a Federal-style
mantle with gouge work in the form of scallops and stars on the piers and semicircles on the center panel. A porch stretches along the entire length of the front façade.
Although its physical condition is currently less than perfect having lost one chimney stack and some of its exterior weatherboard siding, the house’s overall integrity of design,
materials, workmanship, feeling and association have not changed significantly throughout the building’s history.
The Williams Home Place has been named a National Bicentennial Farm, as the property has remained continually in the same family for more than 150 years. Listed in the National Register February 17, 1999. -It is now in the owners’ possession in Georgia.

{G0} John Williams, b.~1780 probably in SCOrangeburghDist,Briar Creek. d.Mar1855 at his plantatation SCBarnwellDist.(AllendaleCo)Ulmers. He was buried in SCUlmers,Great Salkehatchie Baptist Church Cemetery. 27Mar1855 his estate was probated.
John Williams' widow Mary J. Williams is found in the Great Salkehatchie Baptist Church Records several times. She was even excluded from the Salkehatchie Church at one time. Her slave Eliza was also excluded in October 1858.
The 1810 US Census of Barnwell District showed John Williams five families away from Wilson. He is married with a son and three daughters which indicated that Tamer was having a child every other year. John Williams gave his age as between 25 and 44 years old. This would indicate that he was born between 1785 and 1766 which was the same age group as was Wilson. The His wife Tamer gave her age as between 16 and 24; 1796 and 1786. Certainly she was born in 1786 to have had four children born between 1802 and 1810. This family is listed with five enslaved African Americans. He is located between the widow Mary Edgefield and the family of John Hugon.
1820 census of SCBarnwellDist: After the death of his first wife in 1816, John Williams married Mary Jones Rowley. showed that John Williams had a household of 10 people. They were 1 male age 26-45 John Williams (1775-1794}, 1 male 10-16, Angus Williams, 3 males under 10, James Wilson, Jones M, 1 female age 16-26 Mary Jones Williams, (1794-1804) 2 females 10-16, Mary , Elizabeth, and 2 females under 10 Zilpha, Elsie

All
1840 Census of Barnwell Dist:listed John Williams as being between 60-70 years (1770-1780) Mary J. Williams 40-50 years (1790-1800} Jones M Williams 20-30 years (1810-1820} and William B Williams 20-30 years (1810-1820). In the 1840 John Williams had 28 African Americans in bondage with 13 of them employed in agriculture. As ten of these slaves were children were under the age of ten, 7 boys and 3 girls, that left eighteen of these folks to be working as farm laborers but as the census stated only thirteen were engaged in
agriculture, five of these people were probably house domestics or too old to work . Seven of the 28 AfricanAmericans were young adults ranging in ages 10 through 23. These were three males and four females.Three males and three females were between 36 and 54 years old. Two females were between the ages 24 and 35. Three of John Williams people he held in bondage were between the ages of 55 and 99 years; one man and two women. In 1841 John Williams petitioned the court to be released from securityship to R.C. McMillan who was the administrator for the estate of James Moody, his former son-in-law. He says, Having lately been unwell with the prevailing fever of the country, and now considerably advanced in life (in his sixties} and apprehensive that I may eventually be injured by my securityship etc...
In 1848, John Williams deed the Savannah Tract to his son Jones M. Williams lands which were on the Wells Branch. 1850 census of Barnwell District South Carolina showed the county had more slaves than free persons. The census showed a white population of 12,289 people with 14,008 African Americans in bondage. Evidently much of the wealth of the county was based on human bondage. listed on 25 October 1850 John Williams as living in the community of America which later became SCUlmer. He is listed age as 70 (1780). Mary Williams age was given as 50 (1800}. His occupation was given as "planter" and his estate was worth $6000 which made them some of the wealthiest people in the county due to their human chattel. They were living on their home place with 29 African Americans kept in bondage. One of these was a 100 year old woman. Another was an 80 year old woman. Two males and one female were 60 years old. There were eight other adults. A 56 year old male, a 50 year old female, a 40 year old female, a 35 year old female, a 30 year old female, a 28 year old male, a 25 year old female, and a 23 year old female. There were four young teenagers, an 18 year old male, a 16 year old female and two 15 year old females. There were twelve children listed; a 12 year old male, two ten year old males, a 10 year old female, an 8 year old male, two 6 year old females, a 6 year old male, two 5 year old males, a 3 year old female and a 2 year old male. Undoubted most of these people were family units. The names of 24 of these people were mentioned in the 1854 Last
Will and Testament in which John Williams devised his property to his children. His daughter Mary Williams received Cato, Berry and her children Hannah, Maria, and Melly. His daughter Zilpha received Larry, Hannah, and Silas. His daughter Elsie received Mile [Milly] and her children Grace, Prince, Elleck, and Stephen. His son Wilson received Lucy,
Paul, Hagar and her infant child. His son Jones received Old Abram, Sandy, Handy, and Flora. His son William B recieved Cynthia, Amy, Amada and Viney. In 1853 John Williams owned 394 acres by Eli Myrick. On 16 August 1854 John Williams wrote out his will in which he stated that his wife: "She will have of my estate as much as
any one of the most favored of my children has gotten or will get from me." She was given the choice of slaves from his estate. After wife’s "share is ascertained, rest and residue of estate to be divided among my children in such a manner as will put them all on an equality." The will was witnessed by Josiah J Brabham, Hampton Brabham, and G.J
Priester. John Williams died in March 1855 when his will was probated 27 Mar 1855. The appraisers of his property were John A. Hayes husband of Catherine B. Campbell Roberts Hayes, John C. Sanders, Hampton Brabham (husband of Harriett Elizabeth Kirkland} and George I Priester. The top part of John’s headstone was broken off and lost. The remainder states:
"In him the poor and needy found relief. He was ten years a consistent member of the Baptist Church. His wife of the 2nd marriage and six children still survive him-Who will long continue to cherish his memory with the most grateful recollections-The memory of the Just is blessed And shall come to his grave in full age, like a shock of corn Cometh in his season."

{G0_Wife1} Tamer (Probably born no later than 1785), d.Feb1816 (probably near the time of the death of Wilson Williams' wife-Elizabeth Kirkland Williams.(MaidenName thought to be Creech or Chessereau}.
Close connection between the Creech and Williams family. Tamer was more likely to have been a Creech, but her father is unknown.
She was buried in the Great Salkehatchie Baptist Cemetery. Her monument reads: Beneath this stone rests the remains of Tamer Williams wife of John Williams-Who departed this life in February 1816. She was a kind mistress and neighbor, devoted wife and mother-In her, many qualities of Christian virtue were exemplified-Having been for many years A member of the Baptist Church-She died, leaving a husband and six children to mourn their loss-They that trust in the Lord shall be as mountains which cannot be moved, but
endureth forever. Tamer’s identity has been a mystery with some members of the family believing that she was a Creech while others believed that she was the daughter of John Chessereau. William Chessereau of Winton County (Barnwell} Book of Records 1787-1791 left a feather bed and 1/3 of bed clothes, a sorrel mare, and a yearling colt to his wife to descend to sons at her death but there appears to be no other record of this family. The Creech family, on the other hand, have intermarried with the Williams and their kin for generations.
{G0_Wife2} Mrs. ***Mary (Jones) ((Rawley)) Williams***, b.1797 in SCWintonCo, d.1868(age71) near SCBarnwellCo,Ulmer. She was the widow of Mr. Rawley before marrying John. 17Jul1812, plat for Lewis M. Ayer for property on the 'Big Saltketcher River' showed that property owners near him were Benjamin Corbitt, Jacob Free, William Warnal, and Edmond Jones. As these people were also in the same area as John Williams, Mary could have been a relative of Edmond Jones. The only Rawley mentioned in land records is Amos Rawley. 1785 plat Amos Breland had lands on 'waters of Savannah River' in SCBeaufortDist with near land owners being Abraham Breeland and Amos Rawley. The Breland Family represented by William Breland Sr, the son of Abraham Breland, had marriages within the Kearse family. 1860 Census she is listed as living in SCUlmer within the household of her son William B Williams. Her Post Office address was Buford Bridge and she was enumerated on 13 July 1860. Her age was given as 63. She owned $4800 worth of personal property which was probably her 19 year old African American female slave. Together with John Williams' sons James Wilson
Williams, William Britton Williams, and Jones Martin Williams, these families owned 97 African Americans kept in bondage. Their human chattel was worth nearly $100,000 near the beginning of the Civil War. The cost of secession was the lost of slaves after Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and General Sherman's army swept through Barnwell District burning rebel homes and
towns. Mary Jones Williams died in April 1868 and is buried in the Great Saltkehatchie Cemetery near her husband.

{G0-E/JW&T} James Wilson Williams, b.31Dec1813 in SCBarnwellDist,Great Salkehatchie, d.26Jun1879 in SCBarnwellDist,Ulmers. James Wilson Williams was known as 'Ole Rock Williams' He married in is mid-thirties Winiford Myrick whose first husband had deserted her. Winniford was the wife of William W. Dunn whom she married before 1840 and had a daughter by her first husband, who then deserted her. Ole Rock was an executor of his fathers estate. He received slaves Lucy, Paul, Hagar, and an infant from father’s estate. Additionally John gave him $325 and 64 acres. James Wilson ran a cotton gin and grist mill in the area. In 1848 he was given 484 acres near Salkehatchie River. In 1853 he made several transactions probably from monies from his inheritance. He bought 207 acres from Stephen Williams (son of Marmaduke Williams} for $1650. He bought 630 acres in Millers Swamp for $630 from William Register (son-in-law of Marmaduke Williams. He also bought from Thomas Raysor 500 acres for $1500, In 1860 he paid $660 for 165 acres on Steel Creek. After slavery much of his lands if not all were rented out to tenant farmers who were share croppers. After the Civil War he bought 300 acres near Thomas F. Hogg in 1878. Most of his property was in the Ulmers area like his father before him. His home was on the road between Ulmers and Sycamore and was still standing in 1970. James Wilson died in 1879 when he fell from a wagon returning home from Allendale. He broke his leg, which caused complications that led to his death. Dr. Henry W. Kearse, (a grandson of William Kearse) and Dr. John William Ogilvie were the attending physicians. He was a Mason and was buried with full honors in the Great Salkehatchie Baptist Cemetery. The gravestone inscription reads: J. Wilson Williams departed this life June 26 1879 Aged 65 years, 5 months, 26 days. Today the gravestone is broken and lays flat on the grave. This was the end of an era. After five generations of building, family lands and fortunes of this line of Williams seemed to scatter and fade away. The depressions of the 1880s and 1890s hastened the end. The region never recovered its pre Civil War prosperity. This gene pool according to Mrs. Elizabeth Davis was devitalized. The young gradually left and agriculture, the mainstay, declined with nothing to take its place. The big plantation blocks were broken up into poor tenant farming.
{G0-E_Wife} Mrs. Winniford Susan (Myrick) Dunn, daughter of Eli Myrick and Mary Creech. b.11Oct1820, d.23Feb1900(age80)
When Winnifords father made a will, he stated that the husband of my daughter Winniford Dunn shall not enjoy, or receive, a cent in any manner. There is a story that Dunn returned and Eli Myrick gave him $100 to get lost, which he did.
Winneford Williams was baptized at Great Salkehatchie Baptist Church in 1870. James Wilson had been a member there since before the Civil War. He allowed three slaves to be baptized there at Great Salkehatchie. A former slave named Philip was excommunicated from the church in 1869.

{G1-E8/JWW-and-WSMD-W} T. Eli Williams, 1848-1910(age62) Evidently Eli was a small man who was also hot headed, high strung, and had an explosive temper. This bad temperament mixed with alcohol made him an abusive alcoholic. He was also credited with nocturnal soirees on horseback—-in the grip of the grape no doubt There was no understanding or treatment for alcoholics in those days. He only stood 5 foot two inches and wore a size five shoe. His parents had a problem finding shoes for him. He wore a mustache and was said to have been dead attractive! He spent much too much time at his Uncle Jones’ Williams racetrack with cock fighting, much betting, and booze making up the total scene. I guess the little fella was over compensating. It was said he once snatched the dinner cloth from the table, scattering dishes, food, and cutlery etc pell mell. Eli Williams was elected the Town Marshall of Allendale in 1878 but got himself into trouble and deserted his family fleeing to Dunellen, Florida. He was an alcoholic and had a volatile temper. About a year later he became involved in a tragic accident on an election day and his friend Emmett Allen was killed. There was one story when the sheriff went looking for Eli at his father’s house, J. Wilson hid him under a barrel, then sat on the barrel and talked to the sheriff.. When Eli left Barnwell District, William Myrick, his mother’s nephew took him across the Savannah River and he sang Barbara Allen all the way. His family moved to Allendale and received a legacy from their grandfather. Eli is believed to have died in 1910 and buried in Duneden, Florida. It is also believed that he remarried and started a new life there.

{G2-E8b/TEW-and-JB} William Aiken Williams, b.14Jan1875, d.12Dec1913(age38) Aiken was the dearly beloved only son of his mother but like his father he could not handle alcohol. Aiken was high spirited, colorful character. witty, with a keen sense of humor. He was always into mischief usually at someone else’s expense. Aiken attended the first trustee-operated school in Allendale in 1886 on the corner of Esther Street and Main Street. Esther Street was named for Esther Roberts Williams his great-great grandfathers 3rd wife. It was upstairs over a funeral establishment. Professor Henry Hartzog was head of the school. He was later President of Clemson College. Much later he remembered Aiken Williams and said he was a handful but one of the most attractive young men he’d ever taught. Aiken weighed 165 pounds and was of medium height. Aiken served in the Spanish American War and he also managed liquor establishment for a time. He was killed in a shooting accident in Kline, SC at the age of 33. After eleven years of marriage, Pauline was left with six children and one on the way. Her life was full of hardship afterwards. His mother was so devastated by his death that she would not go to his funeral.
{G2-E8b_Wife} Sarah Pauline Cave b.14Jan1875, d.12Dec1913(age38),m.27Jul1902. Both are buried in Boneventure Cemetery in Savannah.

{G6-4B7a3E/WilsonW-and-Eliz} Rev. 'Martin' Jones Williams, b.~1800 in SCBarnwellDist,d.Oct1843(age43) in SCBarnwell Dist. Martin and Green Williams were brothers, they were also brothers-in-law. 29Jan1824 Martin bought from the estate of Stephen Roberts, a shotgun. Martin had some serious debts and probably was not good at farming or business. Previous to Jan1828, Martin opened an account with Josiah Dickerson, a merchant at Buford's Bridge. Until 1830, Martin was giving Dickerson promissory notes rather than paying what he owed. A jusgement against Martin was filed Mar1830 for $294.
MartinJones then was making some payments so that Dickerson did not enforce judgement until 07Apr1834. (Chancery and Equity Records Group 37 Josiah Dickerson vs. Martin J.(Jones) Williams and Josiah D. Williams) 1830 census of SCBarnwellDist, Martin Jones Williams was living near his father, Wilson and his brother, Green. He had a wife and 3 children-2 sons and a daughter. He had 1 slave. Only the name of one of these children is known as the others probably died in childhood. This is the only census for which Martin Jones Williams can be located. The land that the merchant, Dickerson, wanted to put a lien against did not belong to Martin Jones Williams, but to his infant son, Josiah Dickerson Wiliams, whom Wilson Williams, his grandfather, had sold to him 01Mar1829 for $900. Dickerson claimed that this land, long before 1829, was given by gift or payment and actually belonged
to Martin Jones Williams. No money was ever paid to Wilson Williams, and Dickerson claimed that Wilson's deed to Josiah D. Williams was fraudulent. Martin Jones Williams answered saying that the deed was good, and the debt real and he wished to pay for it. The land was partly sold to settle the debt, but title was confirmed to Josiah D. Williams. On 17Oct1834 judgement against Martin Jones Williams and Josiah D. Williams's lands were sold to William Priester for $150 and $350. The land was in the neighborhood of Buford's Bridge on Big Saltketcher from a plat made by John M. Allen; part of a larger tract where Martin Jones Williams resides containing 200 acres. In 1834, Martin Jones resided in the Three-Hole Savannah neighborhood on 300 acres adjacent to William Green Williams and James McMillan. On 20Nov1835, with his son, Josiah Dickerson Williams, he sold more land to William Priester on Big Saltketcher. The 1838 Equity Court Bundle 71, package 12, showed Martin Jones Williams was a son-in-law of William Kearse.
His wife Sallie was given 2 slaves, Mary and Lorra from her father's estate in 1838. They were her property and not Martin Jones'. It is not known when Martin J. Williams became a Methodist Circuit Preacher, but he was frequently away for long periods of time leaving his wife and children in the care of relatives. He and his brother, Green Williams, were religious men and poorly suited to be farmers. However, they were separated by denominational differences. He was a Methodist Circuit Preacher and his circuit included eastern GA and western SC. Both Martin Jones and Green eventually lost their inheritances from their father-in-law William Kearse. Martin Jones Williams died mysteriously in 1843, and an autopsy found traces of arsenic in his stomach. His wife, Sallie, was accused of poisoning him, but she was acquitted by a Barnwell jury. (Ref. Platz/Plats/Platts/Platt V2p386)
1840 census for SCBarnwellDist does not list Martin Williams not his wife Sarah. The family would have been living in the Three Hole region unless they had temporarily moved out-of-state. Rev.M.M.Brabham in MizpahFamilyBook states that Martin Jones Williams died a mysterious death. His wife, Sarah? or Sallie? Kearse was tried in SCBarnwellDist for poisoning her husband. Not enough evidence was found to determine what happened to Martin and she was acquitted. Martin Jones Williams and Sarah Kearse probably had at least 6 children and she had at least 4 more after his death although she remained unmarried. 1860 census of SCBarnwell, GMW was living with two women bywho he was having children.
{G6-4B7a3E_Wife-of-RevMartin} Sallie (Kearse) Williams, b.1805. Probably d.around 1866(age61) Daughter of William Kearse and Flora Brabham. Sister to Harriett Kearse Williams. In late 1843, the state of SC tried Sarah Williams for the murder of her husband Martin Jones Williams by poison. Judge Josiah J Evans presided over the trial. More details at MyWilliamsSouthernRoots.blogspot.com 1850 census of SCBarnwellDist, taken on 29Jul1850, listed Martin Jones Williams wife Sallie and his children. Household #308 without any property. This suggests that the family had lost its land and slaves due to bad management of finances. The census only listed Sallie Williams, age 45, as head-of-household. Included in her household were her children, George [George Perry] age 11, Mary age 9, Sophronia age 8, Henrietta 6, Aldred [Aldrich] age 4, and Cornelius age 1. male=Allen Harter, son of Abraham Harter. b.1825,d.1866(age41). 1850 census indicates that any children born prior to George Perry Williams were either married or had died.
The nearest neighbors to Martin J.Williams' family in 1850 were John Lyons, age 56; Henry Mixon, age 47; William Smith, age 20; and Martin's half-nephew William B Williams who resided in household #306 Sarah Williams was cohabitating with other men after the death of Martin J. Williams as that Henrietta, Aldrich and Cornelius were born after his death in 1843. Sarah's last known child, Savannah, was b.1854 according to the 1860 census. The father of the children born after Martin died is unclear, but as she named one of them Aldrich, his father could have been J.J.Aldrich and the others fathered by Harter. The descendants of Abraham Harter's family became intertwined with the family of Martin J Williams and Preston L Williams, who was a descendant of Marmaduke Williams
On 20Jan1859, Sallie Williams bought 977 pounds of pork from the estate of Mary Myrick, widow of Eli Myrick. Why she would need so much meat is unknown. Sally Williams and Allen Harter are still living together in Mar1859 when they were mentioned in the estate of John Platt as having doubtful accounts. 1860 census of SCBarnwellDist showed that Sarah Williams sill as the head-of-household or within the household of Allen Harter - as the enumerator crossed out the name Allen. The census was taken 21Jul1860 with Sallie Williams listed as age 53. Above her is listed Allen Harter, age 40 who is listed as a farmer with $600 worth of real-estate and $800 worth of personal property. The reason to believe that Allen Harter is listed as head of this Williams household, is the inclusion of Andrew Harter, age 60 who was Allen's uncle Also included are all the children who was listed in 1850 except for daughter Mary Jane Williams. She was living with Allen's brother, George Martin Harter who was also living with Teresa Ann Harvey. Both these women were not married to George M Harter, but bore him many children. Sally Kearse Williams became the common law wife of Allen Harter.
Allen Harter brother George M Harter was appointed administrator and the estate was appraised by Preston L. Williams, Edward M. Cope and Abraham Chasseareeau. George M. Harter was the son-in-law of Sallie Kearse Williams
At the time of the 1850 census, she was living with children in the Harter settlement, north of present day Hwy641.

He fought in the Revolutionary War.

18Feb1799, bought from Wilson Williams, his father's lands on King Creek-first granted to William Brown (Deed Book A, page 124)
1800 census shows he lived near Richard Creech, Dempsy Phillips and John Broyles in SCBarnwellDistrict. Shows that he was >age45, owned 9 African-Americans slaves
when he died, John Owens was the estate administrator. The surietors were Michael Brown, Simeon R. Cannon.
Note: from MyWilliamsSouthernRoots.blogspot.com In May 1780 seventy Tories under the command of Daniel McGirt and supported by Indians and armed African Americas operated as raiders independent of the British Army ravaging the "country in a barbarous manner killing people and burning a number of house as they go." These Tories crossed the Savannah river from Georgia, "killing every man they met who had not sworn allegiance to the king." Seventeen of the Inhabitants of the neighborhood of King's Creek were murdered.
The Whig William Brown who had sold property to Britton Williams was among those murdered. The Tories burned William Brown's house to the ground, and destroyed everything he possessed. His wife and daughters escaped only by fleeing to the woods. It was the intense Whig sentiments and attachments of the Brown family that made the elder Brown the object of McGirt's wrath. Two of William Brown's sons, Tarlton and Barlett, were Revolutionary soldiers in Virginia when they learned of the death of their father.
During the Revolutionary War the backcountry on both sides of the Savannah was the scene of neighbor pitted against neighbor. Loyalists and Patriots murdered each other some in skirmishes and battles and often just burning homesteads.

------- The Mallard Family Connection ---- (from MyWilliamsSouthernRoots.blogspot.com)
Some researcher believe that Wilson' Williams had a first wife, the daughter of George Mallard. This is based solely on a Bill of Compliant filed in the Equity Court of Orangeburgh District on 12 March 1819, by Wilson Williams against "Durin" Mallard [George Duran Mallard] over a tract of land on the
Coosawhatchie River, which once belonged to George Mallard. George Mallard made out his will 12 September 1812 in Barnwell District South Carolina which was probated 30 October 1812. In Barnwell District Will Book 'A', on page 154 is the record of
a George Mallard's will. This will list the name of his perhaps 2nd wife and her children. Their names are as follow: Wife Easter [Esther], children's Daniel, Dewring [George Duran], Sarah, Rachel, Nancy, and Hester Ann. The will stated that an equal share of 383 acres was to go Daniel Mallard and Duren Mallard lands first granted to John McFail and Aaron Gillette on the Cooswahatchie River. The will was witnessed by Ezekiel Stokes and Joseph Allen. On 31 October 1812, Ezekiel Stokes made a sworn statement before the Ordinary of Barnwell District, regarding George Mallard's will. In Ezekiel's statement he declared the will was George's true will, and he also said that George and he were cousins.
On 20 October 1818 Wilson Williams bought 191 acres from Daniel Mallard, which was his half of his inheritance from George Mallard. Wilson paid $400 for this land on Coosawhatchie River near the Beaufort District county line. The deed record showed this acreage was part of lands first granted to Charles Boyles, William Bryan, and Joshua Williams. George Mallard was originally from Duplin County, North Carolina before moving to Barnwell District South Carolina where he had lands near Wilson’s uncle Joshua Williams in an area known as Duck Savannah. A deed from 1788 showed that Absalom Stricklin deeded 50 acres to George Mallard in Duplin County. It is thought that George Mallard had two sets of children by two wives. His first wife's name is unknown and is thought to have died before 1790. Her children were possibly Miss Mallard wife of Wilson Williams, Adam Mallard, and Hiram Mallard husband of Maria Moore. His children by his second wife were Sarah Mallard, Rachael Mallard, Nancy Hester Mallard, Daniel Mallard
and Duren (Dewring) Mallard. Hiram Mallard died after 1841 and married Maria Moore the daughter of William Moore Senior. Their children were Sarah Elizabeth Mallard wife of James Brawdy of Beaufort County, Virgil Mallard, Francis Mallard, Laura Mallard, James Mallard, Theodore Mallard, Gaspar Mallard, and Lucy Mallard. The last record of him is when he sold his wife's interest in estate of William Moore
Sr. The first record of George Mallard in Barnwell District is in the 1800 census. He is listed as being between 26 and 44 years of age [1756 and 1774]. This is problematic if this George Mallard is the father of Mary Mallard Williams. If Mary Mallard Williams had a son in 1790 she most likely would not have been younger than 16 years old [1774] and thus unlikely but not impossible to be a daughter of this man.
George Mallard is shown in this 1800 census with a young family of three children under the age of 10 and with a young wife between the ages of 16 and 25 [1775-1784]. His near neighbors were James Lipsey, John McFail, Benajah Best, Henry Creech and Adam Mallard. The woman in the 1800 census was evidently his 2nd wife Esther Allen and these children were from that marriage which indicates that his children by his 1st wife were grown and on their own. Not far from George was Adam Mallard who is believed to be his son, married with young children. James Lipsey was George's first cousin son of Roscoe Lipsey and Sarah Mallard. Adam Mallard may have married Elizabeth Bowen and moved to Georgia. On 13 March 1802 Adam Mallard sold 70 acres on Duck Branch. On 31 January 1801 Ann Meadows of "Winton County, South Carolina" sold to George Mallard of the same, 32 acres. The witnesses were James Lipsey and Charles Boyles. Another deed record dated 19 June 1802 Joshua and Elizabeth Williams of Georgia, sold to George Mallard of Barnwell District, South Carolina for $175.00, 200 acres adjoining Charles Boyles, Dempsey Phillips,
William Bryan and Joshua Williams. The witnesses to this deed were Ezekiel Stokes and George Stokes. These men were his first cousins son of Arthur Stokes and Catherine Mallard. The Stokes moved to the Barnwell District of South Carolina from Craven County, North Carolina. On 1 August 1799 Arthur Stokes bought 922 acres of land from Benjamin Allen on the Coosawhatchie River in what is now Allendale County, but in 1799 was in Barnwell County. South Carolina. Arthur shows as the head of household in the 1800 and 1810 Federal census of Barnwell District, South Carolina.
George Mallard, James Lipsey, Ezekiel Stokes and George Stokes were all grandsons of George Mallard of Duplin County, North Carolina. James Lipsey's father and mother were Roscoe Lipsey and Sarah Mallard.
In the 1810 Census however George Mallard is listed as over 45 years old [before 1755]. His neighbors were Josiah Allen, Benajah Best, John Boyle Sr., Henry Creech, John Lipsey, William Lipsey, and Arthur Stokes.
George Mallard wrote his will 12 Sept 1812 in Barnwell District South Carolina and must have been ill as that he died not long after as that his will was then probated 30 Oct 1812. He may have only been in his late fifties. After his death his widow Esther Allen Mallard remarried Charles Boyles.
On 26 October 1818, Duren Mallard and his wife Eleanor sold to Wilson Williams 191 acres on the Coosahatchie River for $400.

(From genealogy.com) I have the following information on an ancestor of mine. Question:Where exactly is Wiggins Hill in SC. I can't even find the Coosahatchie River. Britton Williams was a representative to the colonial assembly of South Carolina and was patriot militia man who was captured after the battle of Wiggins Hill on the Coosahatchie River where he was then hung by the British until nearly dead and then his body was given over to the Indians to mutilate.
The following is an extract from A.S. Salley's book "The History of Orangeburg County".Page 508. " The British Col. Brown marched down from Augusta with an overwhelming force of Tories and Indians, and taking their stand at "Wiggins' Hill" commenced a slaughter of the inhabitants. The news of which reached the ears of those brave and dauntless officers, Cols. McCoy and
Harden, who soon hastened to the defence of the terrified Whigs, and coming upon the enemy, charged upon them and killed and routed them to a man, Col. Brown escaping to the woods. Cols. McCoy and Harden, having accomplished all that was required of them, retired from the field of action, after which Brown returned with the residue of his force and retook the "hill", at which he remained until he hung five of our brave fellows -- Britton Williams, Charles Blunt, and Abraham Smith, the names of the other two not recollected -- then he decamped for Augusta.

Addendum about Battle of Wiggins Hill (from MyWilliamsSouthernRoots.blogspot.com) BATTLE OF WIGGINS HILL SOUTH CAROLINA
In January of 1781, Col. Daniel McGirt and his Georgia Loyalists crossed the Savannah River and rode down the South Carolina side. He had vowed to kill everyone who had not sworn allegiance to the king. At Brier Creek Settlement, he kept his word. Seventeen citizens were murdered, among those was Henry Moore. The settlement was burned to the ground. The wife and daughters of Henry Moore ran into the woods to flee the destruction. McGirt's men tried to kill John Cave and left him for dead, but he recovered to tell the story. Because of this atrocity, Capt. James McKay of Georgia and Col. William Harden of South Carolina called out their militia and began looking for any signs of Loyalist raiders.
On January 23rd, at the James Wiggin's Plantation, a group of British, Loyalists, and Indians led by Lt. Col. Thomas Brown Commanding Officer of the King's Rangers made camp near the Coosawhatchie River. The King's Rangers was made up of nearly 200 men from the 84th Regiment of Foot (Royal Highland Emigrants), 2nd Battalion (Young Royal Highlanders), and Light Company led by Capt. Ronald MacKinnon. The Tory Loyalist Militia was made up of nearly 100 men assisted by 30 Creek warriors.
The Patriot force made up of 76 partisan rangers, commanded by Lt. Col. William Harden, learned of the British camp and made plans to attack them. William Harden had a plantation in Prince William Parish near Whippy Swamp. He was elected in 1776 captain of the Artillery Company in Beaufort District and joined General Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, after the fall of Charleston.
On January 24th, shortly after midnight, the Patriots made their move. They rode into the camp, terrifying the Loyalist militia. The British Rangers did not panic. They quickly formed into a battle line, fired at the Patriots, driving them out of the camp.
At 8:00 a.m., the Patriots attacked the camp again. They dismounted their horses and opened fire on the Loyalists. The Tory militia once again fled the camp, with some of them joining the Patriots. The Kings Rangers joined with the Indians, formed into their battle line, and charged the Patriots. Once again, the Patriots were forced back, scattering into the nearby Coosawhatchie Swamp and hiding out on an island. The Battle of Wiggins Hill lasted less than an half hour when Commander Harden retreated due to the superior number of the British forces under the command of Col. Brown. Seven Americans were killed and eleven wounded. Twelve was said to have been captured. For months, the Partisan Rangers were too weak to be much help in the war effort of the low country.
The known Patriot prisoners were Britton Williams, Rannal McKoy a boy of 17 years, George Smith of Turkey Creek, George Reed of Long Cane Creek and a French man. Col. Brown however took the five Partisan Ranger prisoners from the Battle of Wiggin Hill and put them in a pen made of fence rails about 3 feet high with a covering of some material near Rush's Mill. The prisoners were condemned as traitors to the Royal Crown by Col. Brown and were sentenced to the gallows. McKoy’s mother was brought to the camp and begged Colonel Browne to spare her son but to no avail.
The five prisoners were hanged until nearly dead when then their bodies were cut down and delivered over to the scalping Indians in Col. Brownes assemblage, who scalped the bodies and otherwise mutilated them in their accustomed manner. Col. Brown then turned his fury on Granville District burning homes, stealing livestock, food, and horses, and committing many other atrocities during the war.
Elizabeth Williams, Britton's widow along, with grieving relatives and neighbors brought Britton Williams body back to his plantation on King's Creek where he was thought to be buried near present day Highway 301, a modern highway that runs across his former plantation. On 8 December 1785 Elizabeth Williams received as an annuity for being a widow 8 pounds and 15 shillings. An annuity is a fixed sum of money paid to someone each year, typically for the rest of their life. She stated at the time of applying for her annuity that her husband was killed 15 January 1781 which conflicts with the dates given for the Battle of Wiggins Hill.
On 9 March 1781 two property deeds were recorded some of the few that were during the war. Owen Williams and "his wife Mary" sold to John Ayers 100 acres on Colson’s Branch in Granville County for "90 pounds south Carolina money" with the witnesses being William Ray [Wray], Edward Williams, Lisabeth Brake. The deed was not recorded until 2 January 1788. At the same time George Kearse bought 100 acres from Owen Williams also located on Coulson's Branch.
After the Brier Creek Massacre, Capt. James McKay of the Georgia Militia began conducting raids along the swamps of the lower Savannah River and plundering Loyalist boats bound for Augusta. Lt. Col. Thomas Brown ordered Capt. Alexander Wylly of the King's American Rangers to mount an expedition down the South Carolina side of the Savannah River to eliminate this threat. A Lt. Kemp preceded this expedition with a detachment of 25 of the King's American Rangers with 20 Loyalists.
Lt. Kemp hired a guide named William to take him to Capt. McKay's camp on Matthew's Bluff. William did not care for the Loyalists and he alerted Capt. McKay who set up an ambush. Lt. Kemp's troops rode into the ambush site and at the first shot the Loyalists fled without firing a shot, forcing the King Rangers to surrender.
Capt. McKay asked Lt. Kemp to join the Patriot cause, but he refused. Capt. McKay's men were still seeking retribution for the Brier Creek Massacre, so one shot Lt. Kemp dead. The same fate was for all the Rangers, except for one. That one pretended to join the Patriot cause and then escaped at the first chance to tell Lt. Col. Brown what happened.
This event only happened once - some sources claim it happened on January 22, 1781, whereas just as many sources claim it happened in April of 1781.
Retreating from Wiggin's Hill, Col. Harden crossed the Edisto River at Givhan’s Ferry and established a post at Godfrey’s Savannah near the Ashepoo River, severing communications between Charleston and Fort Balfour. There he reported to Gen. Marion on April 7 that he had stopped several supply vessels on the Combahee River and that he was able to keep the road from Purrysburg to Pon Pon clear. Harden had hoped to join with one or two hundred more volunteers from the Edisto region but their Colonel Isaac Hayne balked at breaking his parole and Harden had to proceed alone with his small force.
Col Harden’s Partisan Rangers skirmished with a force of 160 British regulars near Parker’s Ferry and then retreated southward. On April 7 a detachment of Harden’s men under Major Cooper captured Barton’s Post in Colleton County after a sharp fight. That night they crossed the Salkehatchie Bridge into the Beaufort District. The garrison at Fort Balfour sent Col. Fenwck and a corp of mounted dragoons up the Pocotaligo Road to stop Harden’s approach. On April 8th Harden laid an ambush along the road for the Tory party. When Harden’s partisans opened fire the horsemen charged their position and sent them scattering through the wood
Col Harden retreated to a swamp along the Coosawhatchie River and fought another skirmish with the British at Four Holes in Colleton District on the 11 of April. Nathan Williams was at the battle at Four Holes under the command of Lt. Reuben House.
Charlestown had been occupied by the British for thirty months and two days when they finally left. Major General Alexander Leslie agreed not to destroy the city if the Patriots would allow his troops to depart safely. Upon the firing of the morning cannon the British, their allies, their Loyalists, and 5,000 slaves moved out of the forward works, while the Continentals of Major General Anthony Wayne moved in - keeping a respectful distance.
Over 5,000 slaves and former slaves sailed away with the British fleet. The slaves that came in on their own free will were promised their freedom. Britain honored their commitment to them and most settled in the Carribean and a small number in Canada. It is estimated that 25,000 slaves had been taken from South Carolinians during the British occupation. Since these were considered confiscated property of the Patriots, they were sold back into slavery.
Major General William Moultrie wrote in his memoirs (1802): "This fourteenth day of December, 1782, ought never to be forgotten by the Carolinians; it ought to be the day of festivity with them, as it is the real day of their deliverance and independence."
The day after the British evacuated Charlestown the Maryland Line decided that their enlistments were at an end and they prepared to go home. Major General Nathanael Greene rode to their camp and told them that though Charlestown was no longer a British stronghold the war was not over. It was true, the war was not over. But, there would be no more fighting in the Carolinas after Charleston was evacuated.
John Williams in 1782, along with James Moody and Solomon Owens, appraised the cattle for compensation that was sold to the continental Army by Elizabeth Williams the widow of Britton Williams .
On September 3, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed and Britain's war with the United States was officially at an end. When the war ended in 1783 and John Williams is found on the 1783 Tax List of Orangeburgh District.
About Britton Williams death: Britton Williams died 1781 in Winton County now Allendale County, South Carolina. He had extensive lands near Brier Creek and Kings Creek on the Savannah River. His wife Elizabeth's maiden name is thought to have been a Calthorpe. He had at least 3 children mentioned in a deed of gift by their mother. They were Wilson Williams, Martha Williams wife of Charles Butts Bowen, and Sarah Williams wife of Josiah Vasser. He was a representative to the South Carolina Assembly during the Revolultionary War and was killed by Tories. In 1768 he owned two African Americans when he applied for land in St. George Parish. He may have acquired more as that his son Wilson Williams in the 1790 census is shown to have had 13 African Americans in bondage in his household.
About land that Britton Williams had: THE ROBERTS
Captain James Robert of Dobbs County husband of Amy Creech had moved to Georgia by 1766 where he received 82 acres in St. George Parish on 3 March1767. About six months later on 1 Sept 1767 he received an additional 150 acres adjoining William Colsen on the north, Nehemiah Tindall on the east, and John Gaspar Hirtschman on the south. Britton Williams was granted these lands vacated by John Jasper Hirtschman in St. George Parish, Ga on Brier Creek. Therefore Britton Williams was a near neighbor of James Roberts at the time. If Britton’s presumed mother Abigail was a sister of Amy Creech Roberts, James would have been his uncle by marriage. Britton was married with two slaves. This deed indicated that James Robert also lived in the same area as John Williams and John Royal.
