Biography

Buxton Place

John Buxton Williams (1815-1887) was given the lands on Shocco Creek in 1834, about 1679 acres, although due to the stipulation in the deed that his mother had a life estate on the house and property, he did not claim it until 1857, after the death of his mother. John B. married Mary Temperance Hilliard (1816-1866) on Dec. 17, 1834.^[1]. She was the daughter of James Hilliard and Mourning Boddie, from Hillardston, Nash County. John Buxton Williams served as guardians to the two sons of his cousin, George Washington Alston (1801-1849) who was the owner of [Cherry Hill Plantation]. George was not only John B.'s cousin several times removed, but his wife, Marina Priscilla Williams-Alston (1810-1897) was his 1st cousin as well as his 3rd cousin.^[2]
