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
of the f;>!d farm. Samuel \\'i!Ii?.ni.s v-as fifth in descent from ]'Jrhr-rd
Wi''i:un5 of Taunton, and the [;entrations are numbered fron, him.

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

for Samuel, Jr. ; and l.tter still, another for Rufus?, oldest son of
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.'*
