Are there any subscribers who are related to Henry Williams (d. ca 1786) and his wife Elizabeth [unknown] of Caswell Co., NC, previously of Southside Virginia? 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.
