Joseph Williams

(Abt 1775 - )



Caswell County Guardians' Accounts.
1796 Robert Kimbrough, for Joseph Williams, orphan of Henry Williams. Perhaps this is a report filed as the guardianship ended, because Joseph had gone to Kentucky by late 1795. Henry Jr. had not even married yet, so it cannot be his son that needs a guardian.

Moved to Madison Co KY. Deed of 13 Sep 1795, Caswell NC. DB J p.108-09 Joseph Williams of Madison Co., KY to Andrew McCauley of Orange Co NC for $300, 280 A on Stoney Cr being part of tract willed Joseph Williams by Henry Williams, decd. 13 Sep 1795. Wit: Robt Mitchell, Richd Oldham. (Richard Oldham was brother-in-law of Joseph Williams, having married Ursala Duke Williams, widow of Reuben Peoples.)

Joseph Williams to Sally Searcy, 21 Mar 1796. Robert Searcy, Bondsman. Lucy Searcy, mother of the bride [if the mother gave permission, likely Sally's father was dead].
