Williams Narrative & Genealogy




The following is a narrative and genealogy of North Carolina WILLIAMS who migrated to Wilson County in the 1800's. Some of it is amusing and some of it gives a view of life during those early times. This work (which was typewritten) was found while researching this writer's WILLIAMS' ancestry. Some of it is known to be true and most of it probably is true; however, this work should not be used as a proof of one's genealogy. Quotation marks within brackets indicate remarks that were penciled in as added remarks or data. A list of surnames is listed at the end.


                              ROBERT WILLIAMS



>From authen(t)ic tradition the name Williams originated in Wales.  To all
people of this name are either approximate or remote decendants from
the Welch.

A native of England, Robert emigrated to America some time from 1730 to
1740 and became the ancestor of many.

He was a tailor by trade, but where he settled I am uninformed.  I suppose he
settled either in Mechlenburg, Va., or Warren, N. C., for in the latter
part of the 18th century (and perhaps till yet) there were many of his
descendants in both counties and on both side of the Roanoke.

He married in America but his first wife's maiden name I know not, though
it is certain she raised 8 children, viz. Robert and Seth.  These all so
far as I know reared large families, but who they  married I know not.
They all (so far as my information goes) accumulated good fortunes.

John; Francis; Nimrod; Simon; Dorcas; Ashkenaz (married Sarah Hackney);
Archelus; Permanas; Robert; Seth.

There are many things of importance concerning the family I might have
learned from my father, but failed to do so.  I remember to have heard
him say that in his early boyhood he had more than 70 own cousins.

Fidelity, truth, and honesty was the characteristic pride of the family
for the first two or three generations.


                         ASHKENAZ WILLIAMS

Ashkennaz Williams married Sarah Hackey by whom he raised 10 children,
namely:   Joseph married Mahala Howard
          Sarah married Daniel Elenton
          Henry married Francis Bowdon
          Nimrod married Susan Andrews
          Ashkenaz
          Elizabeth married John Hackney
          Dorcas married Wiley Nevels
          Anderson married Candace Hackney
          Dolly married Mark Bynumjun ?
("Julius")Joseph married Charlotte Temples ("must be a mistake-why 2 children
                                            named Joseph?  It Seems it was
                                            Julius")

Sarah Hackney was a daughter of Joseph Hackney who was an immigrant from
England.  Robert Williams died and left his second wife a widow and this
same Joseph Hackney married her as his second wife.  Thus she became
alternately the stepmother of both Ashkenaz and Sarah.  She had two
children by each.


                                  2

Our grandfather Robert Williams an Englishman from England and a tailor
by trade but married in America:  his first wife's maiden name I don't
know, but she had 8 (?) children namely: (listed p. 1.).  His second wife was
Ann Edwards.  They had 1-2 sons.  One son was named Seth.  Ann Edwards
became the second wife of Joseph Hackney, my grandfather, after the death
of Robert Williams.  They had two daughters.  One married Mark Bynum,
the other Bradford Howard.  They are both dead long ago.  Grandfather
Hackney had several children by his first wife, namely:  John, Joseph,
Williams, Daniel, Robert, Lote, Icmime, Salley, Mary, Elizabeth, Ailuy.

                        JOSEPH WILLIAMS

He has already been afflicted with rheumatism till he was unable to do
much work, hence he taught school as an expedient, by which he could
realize about $(8 ? nr) per month.  But it was fatal to his health, he taught
one session and walked four miles twice a day which brought on severe
spells of rheumatism that drawed his neck and shoulders down so that
for a remarkably straight man he ever after had to lean back to look
up.  (Probably was arthritis, L. Wms.)

I have so far detailed a few of the trials of his life but the worst is
yet to come.


                                  3.

He lived in the midst of a vivious community, gambling was common even
among the leading men and all classes used intoxicating liquors.  He
kept a still of his own, did not distill whiskey but made apple and peach
brandy every year from his own orchard and made a business of distilling
his neighbors crops for toll.  Drunkeness was common, hence it is no
wonder if he became intoxicated himself, especially considering it a
temporary relief to his pain, the wonder would have been if he hadn't.

But whether drunk or sober, he never used profane language, he was a man
of unimpeccable veracity and inflexible honesty, though irreligous, and
if he possessed any cunning or deception, I failed to find it out.

State of Tennessee  Wilson Co. 1862          JOSEPH WILLIAMS
Moved from Warren Co., N. C., to the western part of Chatham County, N. C.,
Rocky River in 1804.  He lived there that year and then bought a farm in
said county two miles north of Redfield Ford on the Haw River where he
lived till the memorable 5th day of April 1815 when he started to the
west and emigrated to this county.

It was here scenes took place in his eventful life which led to the
destiny of himself and family at least in this way if not the next.

He prospered in his new home for the first two or three years and then
came the days of adversity.  He had sold his farm in Warren but before
he sold it, he had given off one corner for a meeting house with the
benefit of the family spring, the line running through it, so that it
took but little work to dig out the head of the spring and move it
entirely above the line on the meeting house land.  After this here was
suit brought for damages, and after defending the suit for years one
hundred miles from home he lost it with heavy damage.  Thus with the
pressure of the times placed him in straitened circumstances.  In those
days he made tobacco and paid carriage 60 miles and sold it at two dollars
to four dollars per hundred and sold corn at $1. to $1.25
bar.  He had a large family and nobody to work till his children were
old enough to help him.  Let me here tell a story of those days.  One day
father was gone from home and mother was sitting in the door when an
officer rode up, she asked him to alight.  Where is Mr. Williams?  She
told him.  "I have an execution and must levy on property."  She mildly
pointed out as she sat plenty.  He went off and staid.  (Doesn't make
too much sense.)

Joseph Williams, son of Ashenaz and Sarah (maiden name Hackney) was born
in Warren City, N. C., on the 16th day of July 1771.  He married Mahala
Howard on the 22nd of Sept. 1792, by whom he has 12 children.

Mahala Williams, daughter of John and Mary Howard, was born in Warren City,
N. C., on the 7th of April 1772.  Mary Howard's maiden name was Sanders or
Nichols.

Of the 12 children, 6 were born in Warren on the Roanoke and the other
6 in Chatham City, N. C., viz:

The crisis, the pressure of hard times had been growing worse for a number
of years.

In 1814 was the hardest:  just then he was pressed on for an amount of money
(maily security debts) that he could not pay without selling so near all
of his property that he could not have enough left to live on in that
country.  He sold his farm and at a very reduced rate and resolved
to move.  It was shear necessity.  But where should he move to?  He first
decided to go to Georgia, but the Lord (as I believe) sent an angel in
the person of an old man who changed that purpose.  This old man lived in
Orange County, N. C., about 20 miles off and he had a farm in Georgia and was
going to it for some purpose with an empty waggon.  Father sent to him to
come and see him that he wished to hire him to move him.  The man came and

                      JOSEPH WILLIAMS cont.

the man came and when he saw a large family of little children he told
him Georgia was not the place for him.

He then decided to go to Giles County, Tennessee.  His cousin Anderson
Hackney agreed to go with him and furnish one horse.  He thus fitted
out an able four horse team, two of them blind.  He settled his business
and got ready to start by the 5th of April with ten children and two
little negroes, Father, Mother and Cousin Anderson made 15 in all
(Elbert left behind).  I have no recollection of an hours sickness on the
road among all the 15.  He started with about $100 in money and when he
reached Falling Creek on the 6th of May, he did not have enought left to
go on to Giles.

It would be almost incredible to relate the hardships of this years.

See an old man placed among strangers with his neck and shoulders drawn
down unable to work and only two boys nearly big enough to plow
(Julius was free), with a large family to maintain and no means till
obtained by hard struggling.  Hitherto the struggle had been of a
different kind, but now it is for a subsistence.

See a dear old woman furnish a large family plenty to eat out of what
would now be considered nothing or nearly so, is enough to remind one
of the Loaves and Fishes, but though I and my father before me suffered
hunger more that year than any year, I always found plenty of wholesome
diet at home if it was coarse.  My father run his wagon all he could
that year and he always took me or Washington with him and then we
frequently suffered.

Let me not forget the hand that fed us, at and abroad, by kind and
generous friends the rememberance of which fills me with emotions of
gratitude to this day.

We made corn enough this year to supply us the next and sold enough to pay
for a cow.

In reviving this narrative we see the conspicious hand of profidence
controlling for may years.  While the said Joseph Williams was reveling
with his comrades, he all the time had a praying wife, who ceased not to
pray for deliverance from that vile community which she termed Sodom.
But little did she think her prayers had to be answered by reducing her
to almost the lowest depths of poverty.  They had to leave there but it
had to be a case of necessity as we have already seen.  It was also of


                               6

                      JOSEPH WILLIAMS cont.

necessity that he stopped in Wilson County.

In 1817, he intered 25 acres of land and settled in a deep glen in the
woods, one of the most solitary places in the world.

This year my Fathered professed religion and the solitary place became a
place of joy and gladness.  O, the inexpressible joys that he and mother
realized in that solitude.  They both believed that it was by a
controlling Devine Providence they left N. C.

In 1819, he bought a farm low down on Falling Creek, lived there this
year.  It was the year he was baptized into the fellowship of Union Church.

In 1820, he bought and moved to the place where he died.

John Howard was an Englishman but whether he was born in England or
America, I know not.  He married Mary Nichols (though I have believed
she was a Sanders) of English descent.  The Sanders were also English.
They had many relatives in Warren County, N. C., where they lived and died,
both by affinity and consanguity.  Among whom are to found the names
of Nichols, Sanders, Basdel, Kimbrel, Kitral, Christmas, etc.

    Julius married
    John married
    Sarah married Elisha Simms
    Mary married Thomas Simms             These Simms were all cousins to
