SAMUEL  WILLIAMS, 

OF  GRAFTON,  NEW  HAMPStllRK. 


RICHARD  WILLIAMSS  a  native  of  Gloucester- 
shire, England,  but  descended  from  the  same  Williams 
Family  of  Wales  from  which  Oliver  CromwelL  came, 
horn  in  1606,  and  his  wife  FRANCES  DIGHTON, 
daughter  of  John  and  Jane  [Bassettj  Dighton,  came  to 
this  country  about  1636;  they  were  a  short  time  in 
Dorchester,  but  soon  v/ent  to  Tauntcn,  of  Vvhlch  lie  v/as 
one  of  the  first  settlers  and  was  so  prominent  in  its 
a,wairs  that  he  v/as  called  "The  Feather  of  tlie  Town." 

They  had  a  large  family  whose  numerous  descendant's 
are  found  in  all  parts  of  our  country. 

Their  youngest  son,  Benjamin-  marrie>i  Re'becca 
Macey,  daughter  of  Lt.  George  and  Susannah  [Streei] 
Macey.  Tliey  had  a  son  BEN.;A^5IN,3  born  July  31, 
1695,  who  married,  December  22,  1720,  Susanna  How- 
ard of  Brid2:ewater,  dauo-hter  of  Mai,  Jonathan  and 
Sarah  [Dean]  Howard;  they  had  an  only  son,  Rurr':-, 
born  about  1723. 


Note. — The  larger  part  of  the  material  for  tins  work  was  garherecl 

by  Benjamin  Franklin  Williams,  Esq.,  of  Grafton,  who  lives  on  a  pn^t

RuFi-s  Williams^  married,  Tvlarch  ij,  1745/6  Mercy 
Shaw,  daughter  of  Jonathan  and  Mercy  [Mason]  Shaw 
of  Raynham.and  their  first  born  was  Samuel  Wij.i.iam^.s. 
born  in  Taunton,  March  20,  1746/7.  Col  Samuel 
Pitts  of  Taunton,  who  died  at  Louisburg,  October  54, 
1745,  was  the  guardian  of  Rufus^  whose  mother  died 
in  his  infancy,  and  who  apparently  lived  witli  Cob 
Pitts  and  with  the  Colonel's  widow  after  his  death. 
She  m.arried  James  Williams,  and  a  fragment  of  the 
Bible  of  the  latter  (imprint  1734)  is  still  held  by  the 
descendants  of  Samuels,  which  undoubtedly  cam.e  to 
them  from  Rufus'^.  Ir  purports  to  be  the  Bible  of 
James  Williams;  it  contains  a  record  of  the  deaths 
of  Col.  Pitts  and  James  Williams,  but  nothing  furiher 
relating  to  the  famil)'. 

As  the  population  of  Taunton  increased,  individu^.'s 
and  colonies  went  away  into  the  vast  wildernes?  and 
established  new  homes  and  founded  new  towns.  Amon^ 
these  was  Samuel  Williamss,  who  with  several  of  in's 
Taunton  neighbors,  emigrated  to  Grafton,  New  Hamp- 
shire; he  settled  on  what  is  still  called  "Williams  llii];" 
and  cleared  a  farm  which  has  been  in  the  possession  cf 
his  descendants  ever  since.

SAMUEL    WILTJAMS.  O 

Tlicre   ni?.y  have   lieen   ethers  -who   died  young. 

They  moved  to  Grafton  about  17S9,  probably  in  the  summer  of 
that  year.  The  following  letter  from  them  to  their  rxiother,  Mary 
Case,  has  been  preserved  : 

"Grafton  January  17  1790 
Honer  mother  after  our  dutifull  Respects  to  you  these  lines  are  to 
inform  you  that  vve  are  all  well  and  in  good  health  Nothing  special 
has  taken  place  since  i  wrote  to  you  last  only  we  built  a  log  house 
upon  land  that  we  bought  and  moved  into  it  the  tlfth  day  of  October 
last;  as  to. the  season  past  it  was  very  good  but  we  had  an  early 
frost  that  hurt  us  very  much  we  raised  no  corn  and  but  a  very  little 
wheat  or  Rye  But  we  work  out  a  Brlckmaking  about  eight  weeks 
and  made  about  tv/enty  pounds  which  we  expect  to  Receive  Partly 
in  Wheat  So  we  expect  to  make  out  for  grain  But  it  looks  very  likely 
that  grain  will  be  scarce  in  this  and  the  neighboring  towns  Remem- 
ber us  to  Perserved  and  Hannah  and  the  family  in  general  also  to 

James  and  Prudence  and  the  family and  if  you  have  any  other 

questions  to  ask  you  may  ask  otis  and  so  we  remain  your  dutiful 
children 

Sam  Will!a:.!> 
Mercy  Williams." 

This  letter  was  directed  "For  Wd°  Mary  Case  Rehoboth."  It  has 
been  assumed  that  inasmuch  as  the  original  has  been  preserved  in 
the  family  at  Grafton,  the  letter  was  never  sent.  But  }.Iary  Case,  to 
whom  the  letter  was  written,  came  to  Grafton,  lived  with  her  children 
and  died  there.  It  is  more  probable  that  she  preserved  the  letter 
herself  and  it  was  found  among  her  effects  after  her  death.  The 
parties  named  in  the  letter  have  not  been  identified.  In  the  oldest 
cemetery  in  town  is  a  stone  inscribed  "Mary,  wife  of  ^^■illiam  Case, 
died  179S,  aged  86  years,  10  months."'  Her  estate  was  administered 
upon  by  Samuel  Williams,  Jr.,  and  while  the  records  sho'.v  that 
payments  were  made  to  heirs  in  Massachusetts,  presumably  in 
Rehoboth,  their  names  are  not  given  ;  the  records  of  that  town  do 
not  give  the  family  and  her  maiden  name  has  not  been  ascertained. 

From  this  letter,  it  appears  that  they  had  purchased  land,  built  a 
log  cabin  and  moved  into  it,  October  5,  17S9.  But  there  is  no 
recorded  deed,  showing  that  Samuels  had  then  acquired  title  to  any 
land;  but  in  1795,  four  deeds  v/ere  given  to  Samuel  Willinrns  and 
Samuel  Williams,  Jr.,  both  of  Grafton,  of  land  in  Grafton,  and  these 
are  the  earliest  on  record. 

A  house  was  built  on  the  farm,  in  place  of  the  log  cabin,  about 
1791,  his  descendants  think;  about   180S,  another  house  was  built

Samuel,  Jr. ;  all  on  the  original  farm,  wldch  v.-as  divided  according::)'. 
The  two  latter  are  still  occupied  by  descendants  of  Sarnueb  of  the 
Williams  name ;  but  the  old  house,  probably  the  oldest  in  town,  is 
occupied  by  a  descendant  in  the  feniale  line.'*
