Dear Williams Researchers or Researchers of Granville Co., NC Can you tell me about this Charles Williams who died in Granville Co. before August 1819? I am interested in obtaining information about his descendants and his wife, who is believed to be named Susannah, maiden name unknown.

(Zae Hargett Gwynn, ABSTRACTS OF THE WILLS AND ESTATE RECORDS OF GRANVILLE COUNTY, NC 1808-1833, V. 2 [Joseph W. Watson, 1976], p. 115) Charles Williams's close associate was his brother Nathaniel Williams. Charles and Nathaniel, according to my research of several years, were younger sons of John Williams, Sr., who is NOT the same person as John Williams, Esq. The latter John Williams, Esq. died testate ca 1799 and William Williams, their brother, died Dec 1775 at Boonesborough, then part of Virginia.) They were the older brothers of Charles and Nathaniel. Elizabeth Yancey, one of the witnesses to the will, was the niece of Charles Williams, she being one of the younger daughters of William Williams, deceased. She was married to Sterling Yancey of Granville Co. Stephen Sneed was married to an older daughter of William Williams, Mary Williams. Thanks for your expected assistance.
