The webpage "Early Descendants of John Williams" has a birth of 26 Jul 1704 and states he married Mary Womack. His son John was a North Carolina Supreme Court Judge. The birth date is more realistic with other facts known. There is no indication they were in Goochland, but it's possible they were there before going to North Carolina.
