W.S. "Bill" Williams was born August 10, 1839. The location of his birth is not certain but his death record says "near Longview." This could indicate Longview, Tennessee, so that was entered. [1] The family history records of his parents John Williams and Rebecca Palmer do not indicate his birth location, just the date. [2]
Bill married Mary Hullett in about 1866 - the 1880 Federal Census indicates: W.S. and Mary Williams; children Laura, Charles, Andrew, and Effie. [3] The 1900 Federal Census shows the addition of their youngest daughter Nettie Lee [4]
Bill passed away on June 10, 1912 in Fosterville, Bedford County, Tennessee. It is unknown where he is buried. [5]
