Research Notes

At some point this profile was connected as a father of John Williams, but this was most likely in error. The son of this John Williams was born in Ohio and was white. These profiles appear to be conflated on Family Search and perhaps that is where the original error was made. There is no source to indicate that these two men were father and son.
