Bio From Find A Grave

James Jasper Williams was born March 28th, 1928 to John W Williams and Winifred Moore. He later married Mary Francis Kite in 1858, daughter of Caswell and Harriet Kite, who were cousins. Mary's brother Henry also wed James' sister Margaret Winaford "Winny" Williams. The marriages took place in the home of each girl's father, both families residing in Butler Co., AL at the time.

Around 1860, patriarch Caswell Kite took both budding families to Texas, where they put down roots. James Jasper enlisted as a Private in the Confederate Army in 1862, alongside his brother-in-law Henry Kite and two of Henry's brothers Stephen and Samuel Kite. They all served in the Co. A, 12th Texas Infantry, also called “Young’s Regiment”. In the Battle of Mansfield, James was wounded and discharged home where he resumed farming in Lavaca County.
