Hello, I do have some information on your Henry Williams, which you more than likely have. He was sometimes referred to as Col. Henry Williams in some Caswell records. His daughter Susannah was first married to Christopher Brooks by whom she had one son, Christopher Williams Brooks; she was married second to William Higgason Rice by whom she had six daughters, Rebecca, Mary, Elizabeth, Marcey, and Henrietta. The Thomas Rice who witnessed Col. Henry Williams' will was most likely the father of William Higgason Rice. His son Henry married Mary "Polly" Gooch, daughter of William Gooch and Frances Rice. Mary's sister Sarah "Sally" Gooch, became the second wife of William Higgason Rice, after Susannah Williams Rice died. I believe that Jane "Jenny" Williams married 19 Dec. 1788 to David Gooch, brother to Mary and Sarah. Best regards, John Fox Winston Salem, NC Ursula Duke Williams was first married to Reuben Peoples. As I recall, Richard "Ready Money" Oldham married second to Martha "Patsy" Reid.

Henry Williams died testate in Caswell Co., NC before January court 1786, when his will was proved. It had been written 12 April 1785. In the will (abstracted) he named his wife Elizabeth; his sons, Daniel, Joseph (land purchased from Henslee), Nathan (land purchased of Thomas Hart), Henry (McVier's old tract). He named his daughters: Nancy Rice, Elizabeth Williams, Susannah Rice, Ursley Duke Peoples, Salley Brookes, Jane Williams; graanddaughter Mary Slade; son-in-law William Rice. His executors were to be his wife and son-in-law, Wm. Rice, and his son Daniel when he arrives at 21. Wit: John Henslee, Wm. Brown, Thomas Rice. (Adapted from Katharine Kerr Kendall, CASWELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA WILL BOOKS, 1777-1814 [N.p., Privately published, 1979], p. 17) I suspect that his son Joseph Williams who married Sally Searcy ca 1796 in Madison Co., KY MAY be the son of Henry, but so far proof of the relationship eludes me. Sally Searcy was the daughter of Bartlett Searcy (deceased) and his wife Lucy, Lucy alleged to be nee Williams probably of Granville Co., NC.
