������ Williams Second Generation

����� Charles2 (?Roger1) was b. c1740�s; d. bef Oct 1805, prob Pittsylvania Co.,

����� VA. There is no definitive proof that he was a child of Roger Williams.

����� However, there is also no evidence refuting this supposition. (See above

����� explanation for placing Charles in Roger's family.) Charles m. (1) Ann

����� Wilson, 3 Mar 1770 (2) Sarah Dix, 21 Apr 1783, both in Pittsylvania Co.,

����� VA and with Peter Wilson as surety for both marriages. According to the

����� history of Pittsylvania Co., Charles served in the military during the

����� Revolution. Charles left a will written 29 Jan 1801 that was probated in

����� Pittsylvania Co. in Oct 1805. There is a Salley Williams in Pittsylvania,

����� 1820, and gone by 1830. The household appeared as 10000-00111. This may be

����� Charles' widow. She lived on or near the Dan River.

Children:

Nancy, prob b. c1773; d. after Oct 1805. and bef 17 Nov 1823; perhaps the

����� one who m. Thomas B(allard?) Fontaine, 17 Dec 1809, Pittsylvania Co., VA.

����� She identified on bond as dau of Sally Williams. Thomas m. (2) Anna

����� Watkins, 17 Nov 1823, Pittsylvania Co., VA. Thomas may have m. bef Nancy,

����� as there is a child in the census shown as b. bef the 1809 marriage date.

����� Peter, b. c1774; d. after Oct 1805.

����� Charles, b. c1776, d. after Oct 1805. He is prob the 1820 Pittsylvania

����� Charles listed as 120101-2001. He is gone by 1830.

����� Susannah, b. c1778; d. after Oct 1805; m. John Crouch, 20 Oct 1794,

����� Bedford Co., VA; consent of her father, Charles, given. They were m. by

����� Rev. Thomas Sparks, with William Astin as surety. Nothing further is known

����� of the Crouches. The John in 1810 and the two Johns in 1820, Bedford Co.,

����� appear to be too young to be this couple.

����� Roger2 (Roger1) was b. Feb 1749, Cumberland Co. VA; d. 21 July 1835, prob

����� Bedford Co., VA; m. Cassie Ann Blair on 22 Feb 1775 in Amherst Co., VA.

����� Cassie Ann was b. 1750-1760; d. aft 1835, surviving Roger. Descendants

����� have reported that Roger's death date is taken from a gravestone in a

����� private cemetery, place not stated. However, the date does correspond with

����� the probating of Roger's will. Roger applied for a Rev. War pension, but

����� his application was rejected. Roger�s sons, Sam Allen and George W., the

����� Nances and the Hudnalls migrated to Missouri, while Susannah went to

����� Tennessee. As far as is known, Roger�s other children remained in

����� Virginia. In 1820 Bedford, the household had 000111-00001. In Bedford Co.,

����� 1830, Roger's household was 0000001-000000001.

����� Children:

����� Nancy, b. 4 Jan 1776; d. June 1852, Montgomery Co., MO; bur Nettle

����� Cemetery; m. (1) Archibald Nance, 10 Mar 1794, Bedford Co., VA (2) William

����� Hudnall, 24 Nov 1804, Bedford Co., VA. William d. 12 Oct 1844, Bedford

����� Co., VA.

����� Thomas, b. 22 June 1777; d. 1831, Bedford Co., VA; m. Elizabeth Woodson,

����� 13 Dec 1805, Campbell Co. She was the dau of Anderson Woodson.

����� Susannah, b. 26 Sept 1779; m. Charles3 Williams (Samuel2, Thomas1) , 11

���� �Apr 1797, Bedford Co., VA; death date is not known. It was originally

����� believed that she predeceased him and he m. again, leaving the widow

����� Elizabeth named in his 1825 will. However, Roger's will, written in 1835,

����� clearly names Susannah Williams as an heir. Various Williams family

����� members kept in touch with each other as they moved westward. It does not

����� seem likely that Roger wouldn't have known that his daughter had died when

����� ten years passed between the probate of Charles' will and that of Roger.

����� It now appears that Charles and Susannah separated and/or divorced. Her

����� whereabouts are unknown, but it appears that Susannah was very much alive

����� in August 1835.

����� Sam Allen, b. 2 Mar 1782, Cumberland Co., VA; d. 1859, Osage Co., MO; m.

����� Peggy Blair, 8 July 1805, Amherst Co., VA; bondsman: Allen Blair. Sam may

����� be the male in Roger's household in 1830, aged 40-50 years old.

����� Mary, b. 17 Mar 1784; d. 4 Nov 1872, Montgomery Co., MO; bur Nettle

����� Cemetery; m. Richard Hudnall, 23 Mar 1802, Bedford Co., VA. Richard d. 15

����� Dec 1863, Rockingham Co., NC.

����� Elizabeth, b. 4 Mar 1786; m. Thomas Creasey, 7 Aug 1804, Bedford Co., VA.

����� William, b. 9 May 1788; d. 5 July 1814.

����� George W., b. 24 Mar 1791; d. 1841, Grundy Co., MO; m. Nancy A. Austin.

����� Martha "Patsey", b. 20 Mar 1793, Campbell Co., VA; m. Benjamin Witt, 27

����� Dec 1810.

����� Charles B., b. 31 Oct 1797, m. Matilda Wade, daughter of Archibald Wade

��� ��Sr., 22 Oct 1838, Bedford Co., VA. Matilda may have been a second wife.

����� Charles apparently was unm in 1820, and still lived at home.

����� Samuel2 (Thomas1) was b. 18 Sept 1744; m. (1) Susannah Ligon, dau of

����� William Ligon, 22 Dec. 1766, Amelia Co., VA (2) Mary Wright, dau of George

����� Wright, bef 13 Sept 1794 when Samuel, Mary and other legatees of George

����� sold part of the land which he owned before death; d. 1823, when his will

����� was probated in Cumberland Co. In 1820, Cumberland Co., Samuel's household

����� consisted of 000001-00011.

����� Children:

����� Anderson, b. c1767; aft 1860, poss Campbell Co., VA; m. Mildred Shepard,

����� dau of Samuel and Anne Burwell Shepard, 18 Dec 1786, Cumberland Co. She d.

����� bef 1850, but Anderson was living with his dau, Susannah Taylor at that

����� time. In 1860, Anderson was living with dau Elizabeth Garrett, aged 91

����� years old.

����� William Ligon, b. 6 June 1771; m. (1) Mary Gannaway, dau of William and

����� Elizabeth Wright Gannaway, bef 1 Dec 1794, Cumberland Co. Mary d. c1815,

����� prob Grayson Co., KY (2) Katherine Keller, c1830; d. 13 Oct 1848, Coles

����� Co., IL.

����� Charles, m. (1) Susannah Williams2, dau of Roger1, 11 Apr 1797, Bedford

����� Co., VA (2) Elizabeth Cobb, poss a Goddard by birth, prob Morgan Co., TN.

����� Charles d. August 1825, Morgan Co., TN, but leaving a will in Roane Co.,

����� TN.

����� Reuben, m. Elizabeth Butler, dau of Thomas Butler who d. Anderson Co., TN

����� in 1814, on 25 June 1801, Campbell Co., VA. Reuben was last mentioned in

����� records in a July 1828 Roane Co. court case.

����� John, b. c1773, VA; d. by Oct 1853, when his will was probated in Roane

����� Co., TN; m. Mary Lee, dau of Joseph Lee, bef 1 Dec 1794, Cumberland Co.

����� Samuel was b. 19 Mar 1781, VA; d. 29 Nov 1849, VA; m. Betsey Wingo, Dec

����� 1803, Amelia Co., VA.

����� Polly, m. Mr. Love; nothing further is known of this couple. If Polly is

����� the younger female in Samuel's household in 1820, then she apparently m.

����� Mr. Love after 1820.

����� Benjamin, b. c1785, d. bef 22 Mar 1855, Anderson Co., TN; m. (1)Cizire

����� Williams, 4 June 1815, Roane Co., TN (2) Nancy McCormack, 23 June 1851,

����� Roane Co., TN.

����� Robert, b. 15 Aug 1786, VA; d. 18 July 1865, Roane Co., TN; m. Sarah A.

����� Manley, b. 9 July 1787, VA; d. 23 Mar 1875, Roane Co. Sarah was the dau of

����� Rev War pensioner Ancel and Sarah Butler Manley.

����� Joseph, b. 14 May 1789; d. 29 May 1862, prob Howard Co., MO; m. (1) Susan

����� Woodson, 10 June 1815, Cumberland Co. Susan was b. 10 May 1799; d. 6 May

����� 1863, prob Howard Co., MO;. There is a Joseph Williams in Cumberland Co.,

����� m. Elizabeth Harrison, 11 Sept 1805. It is not known if this is the same

����� man who m. Susan Woodson. The Ligon Family also states he m. Elizabeth

����� Raine, no date or place given. Since Susan appears to be 10 years younger

����� than Joseph, it is reasonable to conclude he may have had a prior

marriage.

��������������

����� Matthias2 (Matthias1) was b. 14 Nov 1755, Cumberland Co., VA; d. after the

����� 1840 census, prob in Morgan Co., TN; m. Sarah Butler, dau of Aaron Butler,

c1776, prob in Cumberland Co. In the spring of 1776, Matthias (Jr. or

Sr.?) sold a tract of land with Aaron Butler in Cumberland Co. In the fall

of 1776, Aaron�s will was written and probated in Cumberland Co. with

Matthias Williams as a witness and Aaron�s dau, Sarah Williams, named as

an heir. It is possible that Aaron Butler's wife was Susannah Williams.

����� Aaron Butler was b. c1725 and d. 177, Cumberland Co., VA. This Susannah

����� may have been a sister of Thomas (b. 1712)and Matthias Sr. and the land

transaction of 1776 may have involved Matthias Sr. More research needs to

be done on. Matthias Jr. was a Rev. War pensioner.

Children:

Susannah, b. c1778; m. John Landrum, 9 Jan 1796, Campbell Co., VA. The

marriage record identifies Susannah as the dau of Matthias. A John Landrum

appears in Anderson Co., TN court records from 1814-1819. It is not known

if this is the same man. Other Landrums, but not John, can be found in the

1830 census.

?Child, b. c1780. The 1782 and 1784 tax lists of white souls include

enough people to account for two parents and 3 and 4 children,

respectively. However, this child is speculation - there may have been

another family member living with them at the time.

Polly, b. c1782; d. c1844, porb Pittsylvania Co., where there is an estate

administration for Pleasant and Polly from 1842-1845; m. Pleasant Mahone,

20 Feb 1802, Campbell Co., VA. Marriage record also identifies Polly as

dau of Matthias.

Thomas, b. c1784; left a will that was probated in Roane Co., TN on 18

July 1814; m. Charlotte Rector, dau of Martin, c1809.

Matthias, b. c1789, VA; d. after 1860; m. Sally Rector, dau of Martin

Rector.

John, b. c1791; d. by Oct 1815, when the administration of his estate was

noted in Roane Co. court records. When Thomas Williams, (iii., above)

named his executors, he named Matthias Sr. and John. It is assumed that he

named his father and brother. Chancery Court records for 18 Oct 1815 name

Matthias Williams administrator of the estate of John Williams, deceased.

If John was married, there is no record to indicate the identity of spouse

or children.

?Martha, b. October 1797, VA; d. 8 Dec 1884, Clark Co., MS; m. Moses

Shoemaker, 28 Dec 1814, Roane Co., TN. He was b. 27 Apr 1795, Pulaski,

Giles, TN; d. 22 Sept 1876, Silas, Choctaw, AL.

?William H., b. 10 Mar 1803, VA; d. 1 May 1883; m. (1) Unknown (2) Sarah,

poss Sarah Elizabeth Patterson.

Keziah2 (Matthias1) was b. c1760; m. Henry DeShazer, 25 Dec 1788,

Cumberland Co., VA. Little is known about this couple. Henry's father has

never been identified, although he named a son Abraham and an Abraham is

found on a tax list in Cumberland Co. in 1784. In 1810, Henry was living

in Buckingham Co., VA. The household configuration at that time was one

male over 45 (Henry), one male 16-26, 2 males under 10, one female 16-26,

and one female under 10. It appears that Keziah d. before 1810. Since she

was b. c1760, it also appears that she might not be the mother of all

three children under 10. By 1820, there was one male over 45, 2 males

10-16, 2 males under 10, a female 26-45, one female 16-26 and one female

10-16. Henry appears to have married at least one more time. Henry's Rev.

War pension application gives most of the information known about this

man. About 1817, Henry left VA for KY, first settling in Lincoln Co. and

����� then, before 1830, in Mercer Co. It is doubtful whether Keziah is the

����� mother of any of the younger children listed in the 1810 census. Children

����� who most likely are not Keziah's include William, b. c1808, VA; m. (1)

����� Rebecca Cloyd, 2 Oct 1828, Lincoln Co., KY; (2) Susan Devine, 22 Oct 1841,

����� Mercer Co., KY; Jane, b. c1810; m. (1) John Cloyd, 17 Jan 1827, Lincoln

����� Co., KY (2) John Leonard, 14 July 1836, Merrcer Co., KY; Jesse, b. 11 Sept

����� 1811, VA; d. 28 Apr 1885, Mercer Co.; m. Ann Gabhard, 16 Jan 1840, Mercer

����� Co.; and James, b. c1816, VA; m. Sarah May, c1842. Henry died in August

����� 1843, in Mercer Co., KY, where his estate was adminstered. Heirs included

����� spouse Elizabeth and the following children: Abraham, John W., Nancy Ann,

����� William, Jane, Jesse and James. Elizabeth did not survive long past her

����� husband, as her estate sale was recorded in Jan 1845, Mercer Co., KY.

����� Permelia may have been a dau of Keziah, but William, Jane, Jesse and James

����� were almost certainly not Keziah's children. Even if Permelia was a dau of

����� Keziah, she predeceased her father, Henry, and, as no Hazelwood heirs were

����� listed in her right, it appears that she left no children who lived to

����� inherit from their grandfather.

����� Children: (DeShazer)

����� Abraham (Is he the male, b. c1784-94; d. aft Aug 1843, as he was an heir

����� of his father. Apparently not in Henry's household in 1820.

����� Nancy Ann, b. c1789; m. Richard Holt, 6 Oct 1806, Prince Edward Co., VA;

����� bond states she is the dau of Henry Deshazer.

����� Female, b. c1784-94; d. aft 1810, but before August 1843. (Is this

����� Permelia, below, or is this another dau who died young?)

����� John W., b. c1793, Amelia Co., VA; d. 17 June 1862, Charlotte Co., VA,

����� aged 69 years; m. Sally A. Middleton, 5 Nov 1823, Charlotte Co., VA;

��� ��bondsman John Middleton. Parents named on death record as Henry and K.

����� DeShazer. Sally was b. c1800, Charlotte Co., VA and survived him.

����� Permelia, b. 1794-1804; d. bef Aug 1843; m. John Hazelwood, 6 Jan 1827,

����� Lincoln Co., KY; Henry giving consent. Permelia may not be a dau of

Keziah.

����� John2 (Matthias1) was b. 30 June 1761 in Cumberland Co., according to his

����� Rev. War pension application. However, like brother Matthias and

����� brother-in-law Henry DeShazer, John gave no family information in his

����� record. In looking at the 1830, 1840 and 1850 censuses, it appears that

����� John m. (1) Unknown (2) Elizabeth, b. c1784, TN; d. aft 1850. However, it

����� is also possible that Elizabeth was an unmarried daughter. It also appears

����� likely that John married and had a family pre-1800, but left no paper

����� evidence as to their identities.

����� Children:

����� ?John, b. c1791, VA; d. after 1860; m. (1) Elizabeth Duncan, b. c1790; d.

����� 1852. (2) Amy Harbin Crenshaw, mother of his daughter-in-law, Eliza Jane

����� Crenshaw. However, it also appears that John had at least two illegitimate

����� children, one daughter by Joasy Farmer and a son by Aza Morgan.

����� ?Judah, b. c1796, VA; m. Humphrey Thacker, 2 Jan 1832, Roane Co., TN.

����� Humphrey was b. c1791, VA. Benjamin Thacker lived next door to John

����� Williams in 1830, so it is poss that this Judah is a dau of John.

����� William2 (Matthias1) kept a Bible record naming his family. He m. Judith

����� Saunders bef 12 Nov 1788, Cumberland Co. William d. betw 1830-40, prob in

����� Marion Co., TN. Judith survived him and was living in Marion Co. in 1850

����� with her dau, Nancy. She apparently d. before 1860.

����� Children:

����� Henrietta, b. 3 Oct 1789; d. bef 15 Dec 1836; m. Matthew Pryor Jr., b. 8

ï¿½ï¿ Feb 1787, NC, d. 12 June 1869 at Red Hill, near Whitwell, Marion, TN on 22
