Williams, Catherine Hamilton, Abraham Williams and Harriet Risher Williams. A possible site is the cemetery refered to as the J. B. Williams Cemetery. J. B. Williams, John Butcher Williams was a son of Alfred Williams. It is thought that Alfred was a son of Henry M. Williams, James E. Williams' oldest son. From looking at the 1820 census, one gets the impression that Henry had a wife, two sons, and four daughters. Alfred is thought to be one of the two sons. David Gavin in his diary mentioned Alfred's death and that he was a son of Henry. We don't know what happended ro Henry's wife, the other son or the 4 girls. Possibly an epidemic caused their deaths. On the other hand, the 4 girls may have gotten married and been forgotten over time. Henry's second wife was Barabra, maiden name unknown. There were at least three children, James E. Williams, Martha Williams, and Henry Allen Williams. Henry Allen Williams married his cousin Martha Ann Risher, daughter of Joseph Koger Risher and Havillah Williams; granddaughter of Abraham Williams. Henry A. Williams's sister Martha never married and was a member of her brother's household in 1880. Henry M. Williams son James E. Williams did marry. James' two orphans were taken in by John Butcher Williams another indication that John was related to Henry M. Williams. The John Butcher Williams Cemetery is west of I 95 on SC 61. There is an exit at the SC 61, I 95 intersection. Driving west on SC 61 towards Bamberg from I 95, the Green Pond Methodist Church is on the right. Drive about another two miles and the enterance to a hunting club is on the right. Approximatley 100 feet down the hunting club road is the John Butcher Williams Cemetery, It is believed that prior to 1900 there may have been a number of other graves in that area. Supposedly, a number of years ago, the remains of a woman had been found while someone was ploughing. Another indication of more graves being in the area than just the few marked in the Butcher Williams Cemetery, Just past the enterance to the hunting club where the Butcher Williams Cemetery is located, one comes to a paved road, Drain Road that intersects with SC 61. Makin a left on Drain Road, driving just over half a mile, one sees a paved road on the right that leads to a small cemetery generally known as the Stokes-Connor Family Cemetery but as Dr. J. J. Stokes of Atlanta has pointed out this burial ground is more properly knwn as the James Allen Williams Cemetery. The Allen Williams Family Cemetery's location confirms that the Williams Tavern and Williams farm shown in the Mills Atlas of 1825 were located in the area where SC 61 and Drain Road intersects and that the Butcher Williams Cemetery is probably on land formerly owned by James E. Williams.
