ORIGIN    OF    NAME 


"The  name  of  Williams  is  very  ancient,  and  it  probably  extends  throughout  the  civilized 
world.  Most  of  the  original  members  of  the  family  were  doubtless  of  Welsh  extraction.  They 
form  a  large  part  of  the  principality  of  Wales,  in  England,  somewhat  like  the  O's  of  Ireland 
and  ihe  Mac's  of  Scotland,  Burke's  book— Peerage  and  Baronetage— says  of  Sir  Robert 
Williams,  the  ninth  Baronet  of  the  house  of  Williams  of  Penrhyn,  that  'his  family  is  lineally 
descended  from  Marchudel  of  Cynn,  Lord  of  Abergelen  in  Denbighshire,  of  one  of  the  fifteen 
tribes  of  North  Wales,  who  lived  in  the  time  of  Roderic  Maur  (Roderic  the  Great),  King  of  the 
Britons,  about  the  year  S49.  Of  him  was  descemied  the  royal  house  of  Tndor.  The  pedigree 
of  Marchudel  is  deduced  from  Brutus,  the  first  King  of  the  Briiains'.     *  *  * 

*  *  And  still  farther  in  the  sr.me  work  :    'This  most  ancient  family  of  the 

principality  of  Wales  son  of  Sylvius  Posthumius,  son  of  Ascaneus,  son  of  Aneas,  which  Brutus 
was  the  first  king  of  this  Island,  and  began  to  reign  about  1100  years  before  the  birth  of  Christ.' 
Other  authorities  trace  them  back  to  several  years  before  the  Norman  Conquest,  1060.  from  a 
Welsh  chief."  (STEPHEN  W.  WILLIAMS,  M.  D.,  A.  M.)

■^  (A)  GEORGE  WILLIAMS.  Founder.  The  tradition  handed  down 
to  his  descendants  records  that  he  came  from  Wales  to  America  with  a  train  of 
Friends,  in  1690,  settling  in  Penns3'lvania  for  a  while  and  then  proceeding  to 
Monocacy  in  the  present  Frederick  County  (then  Prince  George  County),  Mary- 
land ;  but  most  persistent  and  painstaking  research  has  failed  to  discover  the 
exact  date  of  his  arrival,  the  name  of  the  ship  in  which  he  came,  or  from  what 
port  he  sailed.

10  THE  WILLIAMS  FAMILY 

Ellwood  Roberts,  in  his  historj'  of  Plymouth (Penna.)  Meeting,  states:  The 
township  of  Plymouth  was  originally  purchased  and  settled  about  the  year  16S5 
by  Friends  that  came  from  Plymouth,  in  C5ld  England,  and  mentions  the 
Williams  family  as  being  of  Welsh  ancestry,  their  progenitors  having  bought 
land  in  the  White  Marsh  Valley  (Penna.)  more  than  two  centuries  ago  (1900). 
This  reference  appears  in  that  part  of  his  book  relating  to  certain  descendants  of 
George  Williams.  Hazard,  in  his  "Annals  of  Pennsylvania,"  says:  "Mr. 
Williams  has  removed  to  Maryland" — that  and  nothing  more.  This  was  prior 
to  1700.  So  it  would  appear  that  the  tradition  of  the  origin  of  George  Williams 
might  be  correct. 

On  the  other  hand,  a  manuscript  in  existence  states  that  the  George 
Williams  family  came  to  America  from  Wales  but  had  resided  in  England  for 
over  300  years,  and  that  the  first  member  in  this  country  was  Richcrd  Williams 
who  arrived  in  1632  at  the  age  of  16  years,  and  that  he  was  the  father  of  George 
Williams,  and  grandfather  of  Richard  Williams  who  married  Prudence  Beales  in 
Maryland. 

The  first  authentic  record  of  George  Williams  is  in  the  Minute  of  Fairfax 
(Virginia)  Monthly  Meeting,  recording  the  marriage  of  Richard  Williams  and 
Prudence  Beales,  October  11,  1746,  at  Mouocacy,  in  Maryland,  just  across  the 
Virginia  line,  which  states  that  Richard  was  the  son  of  George  Williams.  Cold- 
spring,  or  Monocacy  Meeting  at  that  time  came  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the 
Monthly  Meeting  of  Fairfax,  Loudon  County,  Virginia.  About  five  miles  from 
Monocacy  is  the  town  of  Bealesville,  probably  founded  by  the  family  of  Prudence 
Beales,  wife  of  Richard  V/illiams,  ist. 

There  are  four  settlers  from  any  one  of  which  he  may  have  been  descended  : 

The  family  of  General  Otho  H.  Williams,  of  Washington's  staff,  by  virtue  of 
the  fact  that  the  General's  ancestors,  who  founded  Williamsport,  Maryland,  came 
from  Wales  and  settled  in  Prince  George  County,  Maryland,  about  the  same 
time; 

That  of  Colonel  John  Williams  of  North  Carolina,  the  founder  of  which, 
John  Willirinis,  SL-ttlcd  first  in  Virginia,  his  descendants  moving  to  North 
Carolina,  the  first  accurate  record  of  George  Williams  appearing  on  the  book  of 
a  Virginia  (Fairfax)  Mrctiiig  of  I'liends,  this  theory  being  .strengthened  by  the 
name  of  t'ne  North  Carolina  Sharpes  o:curing  by  intermarriage  in  both  families  ; 


THE  WILLIAMS  FAMILY  ii 

That  of  Joliu  Williams  who  settled  iu  Monmouth  County,  New  Jersey,  at 
the  time  of  the  Monmouth  Patent,  who  had  a  son  George,  about  1700,  a  prom- 
inent minister  of  the  Society  of  Friends  (from  the  Minute  of  Richard  Williams' 
marriage  on  the  Fairfax  Meeting  record,  however,  the  as.-uinption  is  that  his 
father  George  was  not  a  Friend)  ;  and 

That  of  John  Williams,  a  Friend  who  settled  at  Goshen,  Chester  County, 
Penna. ,  sometime  known  as  "King  John",  but  the  name  of  George  does  not 
appear  among  those  of  his  known  children  or  grandchildren  ;  other  names,  how- 
ever-notably  Jesse  and  Nathan--  appear  iu  each  family  for  several  generations. 

The  tradition  which  has  come  down  in  both  the  eastern  and  western 
branches  of  the  family,  of  the  origin  of  George  Williams,  therefore,  must  be  en- 
titled to  first  consideration  and  is  probably  correct.  That  it  has  been  impossible 
to  substantiate  it,  is  probably  due  to  the  fact  that  some  of  the  records  of  the  early 
Pennsylvania  niet;tings  were  burned.  It  has  been  established  that  the  passenger 
records  of  some  shiploads  of  arrivals  prior  to  1700  were  not  preserved,  either  in 
this  country  or  LCngland.  The  absence  of  information  is  particularly  true  of 
Rhode  Island,  where  many  of  the  vital  records  were  thrown  overboard  by  the 
British  during  the  war  of  the  Revolution. 

Stephen  B.  Weeks  has  this  to  say  in  regard  to  the  migration  of  Friends 
southward  in  his  "Southern  Quakers  and  Slavery"  : 

"The  beginnintj  of  tliis  movement  southward,  the  counterpart  of  the  movement  of  t)ic 
next  century  westward,  is  to  be  found  in  tlie  Hopewell  settlement  in  Frederick  County, 
Virginia.  About  1725,  Friends  from  Salem,  N.  J.,  and  Nottingham,  then  in  Pennsylvania,  but 
thrown  by  Mason  &  Dixon  into  Maryland,  settled  in  the  upper  part  of  Prince  George  County, 
JIaryland,  on  a  tributary  of  the  Potomac.  They  were  erected  into  a  meeting  by  New  Garden 
Monthly  Meeting,  Pennsylvania.  Iu  1732  Alexander  Ross  and  a  company  crossed  the  Potomac 
and  thus  iuiliated  the  migration  of  which  we  are  now  to  write.  In  th.at  year  they  obtained  a 
charter  for  100,000  acres  of  land  situated  on  Opequan  Creek,  a  tributary  of  the  Potomac  in  what 
is  r.ow  Frederick  County,  Virginia.  A  settlement  was  begun  here  by  Alexander  Ross,  Josiah 
Ballinger,  J.\mes  Wright,  Evan  Thomas  and  other  Friends  from  Pennsylvania  and  Elk  River, 
Maryland.  A  meeting  called  Hopewell,  or  Opeckon,  was  established  the  same  year,  and  one 
called  Providence  in  1733.  They  were  organized  in  1735  into  Hopewell  Monthly  Meeting, 
under  the  auspice.i  and  care  of  Chester  Quarterly  Meeting,  in  Pennsylvania." 

(B)  RICHARD  WILLIAMS.  1st.  The  minute  spread  upon  the  record 
book  of  Fairfax  (Virginia)  Monthly  Meeting,  shows  that  he  was  the  son  of 
George  Williams,  the  founder,  and  married  Prudence  Beales,  loth  Mo.  nth, 
1746,  at  Coldspring,  or  Monocacy  Meeting  in  Maryland.  On  7th  Mo.  27th, 
1746,  appears  the  following  entry  :

12  THE  WILLIAMS  FAMILY 

"Richard  Williams  having  for  a  considerable  time  been  under  care  and  notice  of  Friends 
now  requests  to  be  received  as  a  member  in  unity.  The  Meeting,  therefore,  after  deliberate 
consideration,  granted  his  request." 

On  7th  Mo.  29th,  1746  : 

"Richard  Williams  and  Prudence  Beales  appeared  here  and  signified  their  intention  of 
taking  each  other  in  marriage,  it  being  the  second  time,  and  nothing  appearing  to  obstruct 
their  proceeding,  tb.ey  are  left  to  their  liberty  to  accomplish  their  marriage  according  to  the 
good  order  used  amongst  Friends,  and  the  Meeting  appoints  Henny  Ballinger  and  Jonathan 
Williams  to  see  it  so  accompHslied  and  make  report  to  next  Monthly  Meeting." 

On  i2th  Mo.  2Sth,  1746  : 

"The  Friends  appointed  to  attend  the  marriage  of  Richard  Williams  and  Prudence 
Beales  report  that  it  was  orderly  accomplished." 

The  next  record  states  : 

"Joseph  Wells  requests  a  certificate  for  himself  and  wife  to  the  Monthly  Meeting  of 
Carver's  Creek,  in  North  Carolina.  Also  request  is  made  for  certiAc-ite  for  Thomas  Beales  and 
wife  and  Richard  Wiliiams  a!id  wife  to  the  above  said  Monthly  Meeting." 

These  certificate!;  were  approved  and  signed  on  6th  Mo.  26th,  1749,  and 
Richard  Williams  and  his  brother-in-law  Thomas  Beales,  a  minister  of  the 
Society  of  Friends,  and  their  wives,  then  moved  to  Guilford  County,  North 
Carolina. 

A  grandson  of  Prudence  (Beales)  Williams  in  his  published  "Reminiscences" 
wrote  of  her  in  1S76.  "My  grandmother  remained  a  widow  for  the  rest  of  her  life, 
and  died  respected  by  all  who  knew  her.  She  was  an  Elder  in  the  Religious  Society 
of  Friends  for  many  years,  and  was  highly  esteemed.  She  was  opposed  to  slavery 
and  a  friend  of  the  oppressed."    She  was  born  3rd  Mo.  ist,  1730  ;  died  6th  Mo.  26th,  1S15. 


Prudence  Eeales  was  the  daughter  of  John  Beales,  of  Bealesville,  Maryland. 
John  Eeales,  Sr.,  was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends  who  settled  near  Aston, 
Delaware  County,  Pennsylvania.  He  married  in  16S2,  Mary,  the  daughter  of 
William  Clayton,  Sr.,  and  later  moved  to  Nottingham,  Pcnna.,  where  he  died  in 
1726.  His  children  so  far  as  definitely  known,  were  John,  Jr.,  William,  Jacob,  Mary 
and  Patience.  Prudence,  daughter  of  John  I!cales  of  Nottingham  and  later  of  Bealos- 
ville,  who  married  Richard  Williams,  isl,  had  11  brother  named  Thoui.-is  «iul  probably 
one  named  I'.owatcr.  It  is  certain  that  Prudence  aiul  Thomas  Beales  were  children  of 
John  lieaics,  but  whether  of  the  father  or  his  son  John,  is  not  known,  probably  of  the 
latter.  Thomas  Benles  was  a.  Minister  of  the  Society  of  Friends  and  was  the  first 
white  Bcttler  in  the  Slate  of  Ohio,  having  gone  there  in  17M2  from  North  Carolina 
under  the  auspices  of  his  Meeting  to  preach  to  the  Indians. 

William  Clayton,  father  of  Mary  Clayton  who  married  John  Beales,  Sr.,  arrived 
in  the  ship  "Kent"  from  London  in  company  with  certain  commissioners  sent  by  the 
Proprietors  of  New  Jersey,  to  purchase  lands  from  the  Indians,  etc.,  in  167S.  He 
purchased  the  share  of  Hans  Oelson,  one  of  the  original  graiitecs  of  W.arcus  Hook, 
at:d  settled  at  that  place.     He  was  an  active  and  consistent  Friend  and  also  partici-

and  Iftter  of  Ihit  of  Die  Proprietary,  at  tlie  s.une  time  serving'  -^s  a  Justice  of  Clicster 
County,  Penna.,  presiding  at  the  first  court  Iield  in  Pennsylvania  under  the  Pro- 
prietary government.  His  son,  William  Clayton,  Jr.,  became  the  purchaser  and 
occupant  ot"  100  acres,  embracing  the  site  of  JIaylandsville,  now  included  within  the 
city  of  Philadelphia. 

IILstoriaii  Weeks  tells  us. 

"About  17:5  the  vanguard  of  the  Quaker  movement  appeared  at  Monocacy,  Maryland. 
Here,  like  a  true  wave  of  Teutonic  migration,  it  rested  for  a  time.  It  reached  Hopewell,  Va., 
in  1732,  and  the  next  twelve  or  fifteen  years  were  spent  in  subduing  northern  Virginia." 

Richard  Williams,  ist,  settled  at  New  Garden,  iu  Guilford  County,  on 
what  later  became  the  site  of  the  battle  of  Guilford  Courthouse,  the  last  of  the 
Revolution.  Guilford  County  was  erected  in  1771.  Prior  to  that  time  the  land 
grants  were  direct  from  the  Lord  Proprietor,  Earl  Granville.  Guilford  was 
formed  from  Orange  and  Rowan  Counties.  In  the  State  Land  Ofl'ice  at  Raleigh, 
"  N.  C,  is  a  record  of  the  conveyance  to  Richard  Williams,  ist,  in  1756,  from  the 
Lord  Proprietor,  of  874  acres  of  land  iu  Rowan  County,  on  a  fork  of  Ilorsepen 
Creek,  on  which  he  resided  until  his  death.  In  1757  Henry  Ballingcr  ar.d 
<- Thomas  Hunt,  as  trustees,  received  as  a  gift  from  Richard  Williams,  ist,  53 
acres  of  laud,  together  with  the  necessary  timber  for  the  erection  of  a  meeting- 
house. This  tract  the  deed  declares  to  be  "for  the  use,  benefit,  privilege  and 
'convenience  of  a  meetinghouse  which  is  already  erected  and  has  the  name  of  New 
Garden,  for  the  Christian  people  called  Qtiakers  to  meet  in  for  publik  worship  of 
Almight  God,  and  also  the  ground  to  bury  their  dead  in."  The  following  Act 
of  the  North  Carolina  Legislature,  dated  loth  Mo.  igtb,  1757,  makes  the 
Monthly  Meeting  a  body  politic  capable  of  holding  the  land  donated  by  Richard 
Williams,  ist,  as  a  site  for  the  meetinghouse  : 

"Wherefis,  it  appears  to  this  General  Assembly  that  a  certain  Richard  Williams,  on  tlie 
19th  of  October  one  thousand  seven  hundred  and  fifty-seven,  did  convey  a  certain  tract  of  la:;d 
situated  in  New  Garden,  in  Guilford  County,  to  Henry  Ilallenger  and  Thomas  Hunt,  and  their 
successors  iu  trust  for  the  use  and  benefit  of  the  Jlonthly  Meelin-;  of  the  People  called  Quakers, 
in  New  Garden,  in  said  County;  and  the  sai<l  Henry  Ballengor  and  Thomas  Hunt,  being  dea.l, 
and  there  lieing  no  successors  or  means  of  appointing  such  provided  in  the  said  deed,  or  other- 
wise. For  Remedy  Whereof  :

The  present  Guilford  College,  an  Institution  of  the  Society  of  Friends, 
formerly  New  Garden  Boarding  School,  now  occupies  the  land  donated  by 
Richard  Williams,  ist,  and  the  site  of  the  first  meetinghotise  is  marked  in  the 
present  burying  ground  with  granite  blocks.  Referring  again  to  Mr.  Week's 
"Southern  Quakers  &  Slavery"  we  find,  on  page  105  :  "New  Garden  was 
destined  to  becotne  the  most  important  meeting  in  the  State,  and  was  the  mother 
of  many  others." 

The  following  account  of  the  battle  of  Guilford  Courthouse,  3rd  Mo.  15th, 
1781,  which  was  fought  on  the  plantation  of  Richard  Williams,  ist,  appears  in  a 
"History  of  the  United  States"--Bryant  and  Gray:  "^ 


"Had  he  known  that  they  had  fought  their  way  successfully  with  great  damage  to  the 
enemy  and  were  already  at  hand  near  the  Courthouse,  Greene  might  have  continued  the  battle. 
As  it  was,  with  nearly  the  whole  weight  of  Cornwallis'  force  bearing  upon  a  portion  of  his  own, 
he  ordered  a  retreat.  But  it  was  a  retreat,  not  a  flight.  The  army  fell  back  in  good  order  for 
about  twelve  miles  to  Troublesome  Creek,  upon  ground  selected  to  be  used  in  case  of  a  reverse. 
How  well  fought  a  Ticld  it  w.as,  is  plain  from  the  report  of  casualties.  About  1300  Americans 
were  returned  as  dead,  wounded  or  missing.  The  loss  of  Cornwallis  was  about  a  fourth  of  his 
army,  or  about  550  killed  and  wounded." 

Lieutenant-Colonel  Tarleton,  in  his  "  History  of  the  Campaigns  of  17S0  and 
17S1,  in  the  Southern  Provinces  of  North  America"  says  : 

"  The  wounded  of  both  armies  were  assembled  expeditiously  after  the  action,  and  surgeons 
were  directed  to  separate  the  British  and  Hessians,  who  were  severely  wounded,  from  those  who 
could  bear  the  exercise  of  traveling;  the  former,  to  the  amount  of  seventy,  with  several 
Americans  who  were  in  the  same  situation,  were  lodged,  under  the  protection  of  a  flag  of  truce, 
in  New  Garden  Meetinghouse  and  other  adjacent  buildings  (one  of  which  was  the  residence  of 
Riciiard  Williams,  ist-N  jte),  whilst  the  latter  were  placed  in  the  best  wagons,  or  on  horseback 
to  attend  the  motions  of  the  King's  troops." 

Levi  Coflin,  the  Abolitionist,  whose  mother  was  Prudence,  daughter  of 
Richard  Williams,  ist,  say.<?  in  his  "  Reminiscences"  : 

"The  battle  of  Guilford  Courthouse,  fought  about  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  War, 
commenced  near  New  Gan'.en  Meetinghouse  and  continued  along  the  old  Salisbury  Road,  a 
distance  of  about  thri-e  mile.i,  to  Mnrtinsville,  the  old  Guilford  Courthouse,  near  where  the 
main  battle  was  fought.     A  number  of  soldiers  were  killed  near  the  Meetinghouse  and  along

the  ro:id,  and  ■svere  buried  by  tlic  roadside  and  in  the  Friends'  burying  ground  near  th.e 
Meetinghouse.  I  have  often  seen  their  graves.  After  the  battle  the  Meetiughou.se  was  used 
as  a  hospital  for  the  wounded  British  olllcers.  My  grandfather  Coffin's  house  was  used  by  the 
American  officers  .is  a  hospital  for  their  sick,  and  wounded.  The  two  farms  adjourned  (the 
other  being  that  of  Richard  Williams,  isl)  and  the  beadfiuarters  of  the  different  forces  were 
thus  in  close  proximity.  Tlie  smallpox  broke  out  among  tlie  officers  and  ray  grandfather 
Williams  caught  the  disease  from  them  and  died  " 

The  Guilford  battleground  is  now  a  public  park  containing  monuments, 
memorial  arches,  and  a  museum  filled  with  the  relics  of  the  battle.  A  descendant 
of  Richard  Williams,  ist,  has  in  his  possession  a  curious  iron  bullet,  showing  the 
marks  of  the  mold,  about  three  quarters  of  an  inch  in  diameter,  ploughed  up  on 
the  Guilford  battleground  127  years  after  the  event. 

The  North  Carolinians  had  the  usual  hardships  to  encounter  that  attend  the 
first  settlers  of  a  country,  relying  almost  wholly  for  meat  on  what  game  could  be 
shot,  and  they  were  experts  with  the  rifle,  Addison  Coffin,  in  his  entertaining 
"Pioneer  Days  in  Guilford  County,  North  Carolina",  relates  that  great  shooting 
matches  were  held  by  the  Friends  at  New  Garden,  and  the  cadets  of  the  hou.ses 
in  those  early  days  were  not  considered  to  qualify  unless  they  could  shoot  out 
both  eyes  of  a  turkey  at  a  distance  of  100  feet  with  one  shot.  During  one  of 
these  meets  by  the  side  of  New  Garden  Meetinghouse,  a  beautiful  damsel  clad 
in  buckskin  and  leggins  emerged  from  the  woods  carrying  nothing  but  a  rifle. 
She  asked  to  be  allowed  to  compete  and  when  queried  as  to  who  she  was  replied 
simply:  "  Ann  the  huntress."  It  is  recorded  that  she  was  an  expert  shot  and 
distanced  all  competitors,  much  to  the  chagrin  of  the  younger  men.  She  remain- 
ed with  them  several  weeks  and  then  disappeared  into  the  forest  as  silently  as  she 
came,  and  the  mystery  of  her  identify  was  never  unraveled. 

Richard  Williams,  ist,  died  5th  Mo.  6th,  17S1,  and  was  buried  the  next  day 
at  New  Garden  ;  he  contracted  smallpox  from  a  wounded  British  ofEcer  wliom  he 
was  humanely  nursing  in  his  house.     His  wife  died  6th  Mo.  25th,  1S15.

Silas,  Jesse  and  Richard,  2nd,  sons  of  Richard  Williams,  ist,  were  promin- 
ent in  the  business  meetings,  being  appointed  often  on  important  matters  claim- 
ing the  consideration  of  the  Society  in  Monthly,  Quarterly  and  Yearly  Meetings. 
Memorials  to  Congress  on  the  slave  evil  spread  upon  the  early  minutes  of  New 
Garden  Meeting  show  that  a  North  Carolina  Friend  of  the  period  was  very  much 
alive  to  the  vital  affairs  of  the  day  and  bravely  faced  all  oppositiou  in  defence  of 
his  principles. 

The  compiler  had  occasion  to  examine  the  old  records  of  New  Garden 
Meeting  in  tracing  the  movements  of  some  of  the  early  Southern  Friends,  and  in 
the  library  of  the  present  Guilford  College  were  found  ancient,  but  well  pre- 
served volumes  of  standard  works  bearing  the  autograph,  neatly  inscribed,  of 
Richard  Williams,  which  would  show  that  he  considered  intellectual  cultivation 
as  important  as  the  cultivation  of  his  estate.  The  volumes,  apparently,  had  been 
bequcatlied  to  the  library  of  the  Meeting  he  had  done  so  much  to  found.

lived  to  be  90  years  of  age. 

"Kltazer  Hunt  was  a  brother  of  William  Hunt,  a  famous  minister  of  the  Society 
of  Friends  of  whom  Richard  Jordau  oiicc  said  :  "He  was  tlie  greatest  man  North  Car- 
olina ever  hehl"  (P.iograpUical  sketches  and  anecdotes  of  Fricnds--i87i).  Nathan,  a 
son  of  William  Hunt  and  brother  of  Mary,  was  another  preacher  of  the  Society  of 
Friends  who  lived  to  be  85  years  old.  Life  of  J.  J.  Gurney,  1854,  says  :  "He  is  now 
in  his  eightieth  year,  a  thorough  gentleman  in  his  manners,  and  his  face  shining  with 
the  'Heavenly  Oil'.  It  is  delightful  to  be  with  the  dear  old  man,  to  receive  his  un-

autliori/.ing  two  canals,  one  from  Cleveland  to  the  Ohio  River  and  one  from  Cin- 
cinnati north  to  Maumee  Bay,  Micajah  T.  Williams  was  Speaker  of  the 
Assembly  when  this  Bill  was  passed.  At  the  end  of  his  term  as  Speaker  he  was 
appointed  by  the  Governor  of  the  State  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Canal  Com- 
missioners. In  1S32  he  was  appointed  by  Presideiit  Jackson  Sur\-eyor-Ceneral 
of  the  Northwest  Territory,  to  fdl  the  vacancy  caused  by  the  death  of  General 
Lyt'.e.  He  served  as  a  Director  of  the  Ohio  Life  Insurance  &  Trust  Company, 
and  later  became  its  President.  In  1832  he  went  to  England  to  negotiate  the 
sale  of  the  Ohio  State  bonds.  As  a  Democrat  he  was  a  candidate  of  that  Party 
before  the  Legislature  for  United  States  Senator,  in  opposition  to  Thomas  Ewing, 
who  was  chosen  to  that  position  by  the  Whig  Party.  In  1S40  Mr.  Williams,  when 
General  William  Henry  Harrison  was  the  Whig  candidate  for  President,  united 
with  that  Party,  giving  as  his  reason  his  convincemcnt  "that  the  Tariff  which  the 
Democratic  Party  opposed,  was  a  necessity  for  the  People,  and  that  the  Democratic

Party  was  much  more  of  a  Southern  than  a  National  one".  During  his  services 
as  Surveyor-General,  Byron  Kilbourn  was  made  Surveyor  of  the  Government  lands 
iu  Wisconsin,  and  soon  after  his  appointment  Mr.  Williams  said  to  hira  in  course 
of  conversation  :  "Somewhere  on  the  western  shore  of  Lake  Michigan  between 
Fort  Dearborn  (now  Chicago)  and  Green  Bay  there  must  some  day  be  a  great  city. 
As  you  work  along  that  shore  examine  it  thoroughly,  determine  where  that  city 
will  be,  and  I  will  join  you  in  the  purchase  of  the  land  and  lay  out  the  city."  The 
mouth  of  the  Milwaukee  was  chosen,  and  at  the  first  sale  of  Government  land, 
the  land  on  the  west  side  of  the  Milwaukee  River  was  purchased,  and  soon  after 
the  city  of  Milwaukee  was  laid  out,  and  at  a  later  period  the  lots  were  divided  in 
equal  numbers  between  Mr.  Kilbourn  and' Mr.  Williams.  Micajah  T.  Williams 
died  in  1844  at  the  age  of  52  years.

he  resigned  from  the  Army.  Much  of  Mr.  Williams'  time  in  the  later  years  of 
his  life,  since  retiring  from  active  business,  has  been  spent  in  writing  and  pub- 
lishing short  articles  to  the  people  on  the  rights  of  the  oppressed  races,  more 
especially  the  negro  race  in  the  United  States.  He  also  served  for  six  years  on

nineties,  a  weak  throat,  which  had  always  hampered  his  work  in  the  pulpit,  com- 
pelled him  to  abandon  his  work  as  a  preacher,  but  being  possessed  of  private  fortune

et. He  purchased  a  controlling  interest  in  a  church  paper,  the  "Mid- Continent", 
of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  of  which  he  became  Kditor-in-Chicf.  This  weekly  periodical 
was  afterwards  consolidated  with  the  "Herald  and  Presbyter",  of  Cincinnati,  Ohio,

torially until  almost  the  day  of  his  death.  He  was  :•  Director  of  the  Theological 
Seminary  of  the  Northwest,  at  Chicago,  which  hi-  '  'her,  the  Hon.  Jesse  Lynch

THE  WILLIAMS  FAMILY 


DESCENDENTS  OF  RICHARD,  2XD  (F),  FOURTH    ' 
CHILD  OF  RICHARD  WILLIAMS,  1ST. 

(F)  RICHARD  WILLIAMS,  2nd.  was  born  at  New  Garden.  N.  C. 
He  lived  to  be  99  years  of  age.  He  owned  a  plantation  of  between  300  and  400 
acres  in  Guilford  Count}',  upon  which  he  made  his  residence  while  in  North 
Carolina.  The  deed  books  in  the  Recorder's  ofSce  at  Greensboro,  N.  C,  show 
many  con\-eyances  of  land  to  him  from  1787  to  1805.  Sometime  between  the 
latter  date  and  1S35  he  moved  with  his  family  to  Wayne  County,  Indiana,  where 
ha  lived  for  many  years  a  respected  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends  and  where 
he  died  in  1S54.  On  ist  month  13,  1S35,  is  recorded  at  Greensboro,  N.  C,  a 
conveyance  of  99  acres  of  land  near  New  Garden,  by  Richard  Williams  and 
Sarah  his  wife,  then  of  Wayne  County,  Indiana,  to  Henry  W.  Macy  in  North 
Carolina,  being  "part  of  a  larger  tract  inherited  by  Sarah  the  wife  from  her 
father"  ;  and  this  apparently  severed  the  last  connection  with  North  Carolina, 
as  Richard  Williams,  2nd,  had  sold  all  his  North  Carolina  lands,  having  pre- 
viously liberated  his  slaves,  before  moving  to  Indiana. 

A  large  number  of  Friends  migrated  with  their  families  from  North  Caro- 
lina to  Ohio  and  Indiana  about  this  time,  due  to  their  conscientious  scruples 
against  slavery.  Fernando  G.  Cartland,  in  his  "Southern  Heroes — Friends  in 
War  Time,"  says  of  this  migration  : 

"Tlie  prophetic  voice  of  their  preachers  was  heard,  telling  them  of  the  judgments  of  the 
Almiglity  tiiat  were  coming  upon  the  Southland  because  of  the  cry  of  her  bondmen,  and  warn- 
ing them  to  flee  lest  they  be  partakers  of  the  chastisement.  One  minister  in  particular  visited 
every  meeting  in  Georgia,  South  Caroliiia  and  lower  North  Carolina,  preaching  a  day  of  venge- 
ance and  wannng  the  Friends  to  escape.  The  result  was  that  the  entire  body  of  Friends  in  that 
region,  and  many  froin  the  other  parts  of  North  Carolina  and  from  Virginia  and  Maryland 
emigriited  to  Ohio  and  Indiana,  and  other  Western  States.  Upon  arrival  at  the  neighborhood 
chosen  for  their  settlement,  they  would  sometimes  form  almost  the  same  community  of  people, 
and  name  their  town  and  meeting  the  s.ime  as  that  which  they  had  left  in  the  Southland,  and 
with  courageous  hearts  begin  the  work  of  restoring  their  lost  fortunes,  with  a  spirit  of  freedom 
and  happiness.  Many  of  the  leading  members  of  Church  and  State  of  the  Western  country  to- 
day are  descendants  of  this  worthy  ancestry." 

Upon  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  an  Act  was  proposed  to  the  North 
Carolina  Legislature  requiring  every  male  within  the  State  to  agree  to  defend 

the  independent  government  of    the  Coufcd.erate   States,   the   alteriiative  being

banishment  within  thirty  days.  The  Act  fell  to  the  ground.  Governor  William 
Graham  said  iu  opposing  it :  "It  would  amount  to  a  decree  of  wholesale  expa- 
triation of  the  Quakers,  and  on  the  expulsion  of  such  a  people  from  our  midst 
the  whole  civilized  world  would  cry  shame." 

One  of  our  present  statesmen,  of  national  stature,  whose  parents  were 
members  of  the  famous  New  Garden  Meeting  that  moved  from  North  Carolina 
to  Indiana  with  the  migration  referred  to,  gives  the  following  interesting  descrip- 
tion in  a  recent  account  of  his  life  : 

"lly  parents  were  both  Quakers,  had  been  reared  in  a  Quaker  settlemtct  in  North  Car- 
olina, where  their  forebears  had  found  an  asylum  from  persecution  in  England  and  New  Eng- 
land ;  for  they  repre.sented  the  two  branches  of  the  emigration  which  had  gone  to  North  Car- 
olina for  freedom  of  worship.  They  left  North  Carolina  for  a  like  cause-opposition  to  slavery 
-r.nd  while  they  loved  the  salubrious  climate  of  the  Old  North  State,  and  loved  their  Quaker 
sculcment  at  N\w  Garden,  in  Guilford  County,  they  constantly  bore  testimony  againstslavcry  ; 
and  every  spring  would  see  a  half  dozen  families  dispose  of  their  plantations  and  depart  for  the 
West  to  make  new  homes  in  a  land  where  their  children  could  grow  up  without  coming  into 
contact  with  this  system.  There  were  a  number  of  Quaker  settlements  in  Indiana.  We  did 
not  have  the  public  library,  or  the  academy,  or  college,  or  the  theatre,  and  concert,  and  opera  ; 
but  we  had  a  few  good  books  and  these  formed  the  nucleus  of  a  circulating  library,  and  the 
weekly  newspaper  from  New  York  or  Ciucinnati-these  were  read  and  cared  for  until  they  were 
literally  worn  out  with  the  reading.  We  seized  on  a  book  no  matter  if  it  was  rather  dull,  with 
spirit,  because  it  was  a  change  from  the  routine  of  the  workday.  We  had  the  bible  and  stand- 
ard histories,  with  a  few  books  of  standard  poets  and  novels,  and  we  read  them  just  as  eagerly 
as  the  boys  on  the  streets  today,  read  the  wildest  stories  of  cowboys  and  Indians.  I  sometimes 
think  that  we  were  better  off  with  a  few  good  books  that  had  lived  through  the  ages  for  our 
constant  companions,  than  we  should  have  been  with  such  a  mass  of  literature  that  it  requires 
a  board  of  library  experts  to  make  selection  between  the  good  and  the  bad,  that  which  is  help- 
ful reading  and  that  which  is  the  veriest  trash.  It  was  not  necessary  to  introduce  reform  spell- 
ing in  those  days,  because  we  learned  to  spell  according  to  the  best  authority,  and  we  did  not 
forget.     It  was  a  disgrace  not  to  spell  well." 

Richard  Williams,  2nd,  married  Sarah  Baldwin,  daughter  of  William 
Baldwin,  at  New  Garden,  North  Carolina,  on  6th  month  17,  7778,  he 
married  Susan  Painter  as  his  second  wife  and  Sarah  Russell  as  his  third  wife,  and 
died  in  1854,  in  Indiana.  His  first  wife  was  born  5th  month  23,  1762,  and  died 
9th  month  16,  179S. 

Sarah  Baldwin  was  a  member  of  the  Colonial  family  of  tliat  name  and  a 
daughter  of  William  and  Elizabeth  Baldwin,  who  moved  from  Pennsylvania  or  New 
Jersey  to  North  Carolina  in  the  eariy  part  of  the  iSth  century  and  purchased  a  600- 
acre  plantation  along  the  waters  of  the  Horscpen  in  Guilford  County,  that  State.

Meeting,  Penna.,  and  a  descendant  of  William  Albertson  -who  came  from  Holland  and 
settled  in  Bucks  County  about  1690,  William  Albertson's  property  was  on  Poquessin

owned  slaves  and  also  had  a  large  tract  of  ground  in  New  Jersey.  Hannah  (Albert- 
son)  Williams  conducted  a  boarding  school  at  Plymouth  for  a  long  time,  in  the  house 
afterwards  occupied  by  Joseph  R.  Ellis.  At  the  time  of  the  separation  in  the  Society 
of  Friends  in  1S27,  the  old  Meetinghouse  remained  in  the  possession  of  the  Hicksite 
Branch,  and  Hannah  Williaii-s  gave  land  for  the  erection  of  a  Meetinghouse  for  the 
Orthodox  Branch,  as  long  as  the  doctrines  held  by  this  Meeting  should  be  in  con- 
formity with  those  held  by  the  Meeting  at  Fourth  and  Arch  streets,  Philadelphia.

IF  JESSE  WILLIAMS,  1st,  was  born  in  North  Carolina  and  removed 
nth  mo.  3rd,  1805,  to  Westtown  Boarding  School  and  afterwards  to  Evesham, 
N.  J.,  where  he  conducted  a  school,  and  later  to  Plymouth  Meeting  in  the  White 
Marsh  Valley  (Penua).  He  was  a  recommended  Minister  of  the  Society  of 
Friends  and  traveled  widely  in  this  service. 

"  He  was  early  concerned  to  walk  circumspectly,  as  in  the  sight  of  an  all- 
seeing  eye,  and  to  encourage  others  to  do  likewise.  He  was  a  remarkable  example  of 
uprightness  and  sobriety,  yet  there  was  an  innocent  cheerfulness  of  disposition  and 
sweetness  of  manners,  which  rendered  him  an  agreeable  companion  for  the  older  as 
well  as  the  younger  class.  Having  been  a  scholar  in  the  school  of  Christ,  he  was 
made  '  quick  of  understanding  in  the  fear  of  the  Lord '  ;  and  being  brought  under 
exercise  for  the  good  of  souls,  he  became  qualified  for  service  as  a  messenger  of  the 
Gospel."     (Memoirs  of  Jesse  and  Hannah  Williams.) 

He  married  Hannah  Albertson  at  a  public  meeting  of  Friends  at  Plymouth, 

nth  mo.  I2th,  1807,  and  the  following  is  the  form  of  certificate  : 

"WHEREAS,  Jesse  Williams  of  Plymouth,  Montgomery  County,  State  of

North  Carolina,  and  Sarah  his  wife  deceased,  and  Hannah  Albertson,  Daughter  of

Levi  Coffin  and  Catherine  White. 

Levi  Coffin  was  the  Abolitionist  known  as  the  President  of  the  Underground 
Railro.id,  having  been  instrumental  in  finding  homes  in  Canada  and  elsewliere  lor 
over  3000  escaped  slaves.  He  made  it  a  rule  not  to  arrange  for  their  escape,  but  to 
assist  them  after  they  had  once  taken  the  step.  Some  of  the  incidents  in  Harriet 
needier  Slowe's  "Uncle  Tom's  Cabin"  were  l).ascd  on  occurrences  in  wliich  Levi 
Coffin  figured.  He  it  was  who  harbored  the  slave  girl  "ICli/.a  Harris"  after  her  flight 
across  Ihc  Ohio  River  on  lloatiug  cakes  of  ice.  Rev.  Dr.  Rust,  Secretary  of  the 
Kreedmen's  Aid  Society,  wrote  of  Levi  Coffin:  "It  would  take  less  bra%'ery  to  go  up 
to  the  cannon's  mouth  than  to  do  the  work  he  did.  He  walked  through  the  streets 
hooted  at  and  threatened  by  mobs,  and  the  battlefield  has  scarcely  such  illustrations 
of  heroism  as  he  exhibited  every  day."  An  e.\tensive  account  of  the  work  and  adven- 
tures of  Levi  Coffiu  will  be  found  in  his  "Reminiscences,"  published  in  1S76.
