Executors: wife, David Terry, and Joseph Terry Williams.

From the wording of the will it appears that William Williams had a wife prior to Lucy Terry. His son Lewis and daughter Susannah apparently from that first wife.

Lucy's Will is also in Book 2, p.163
5 Jun 1788
Lucy gave bequests to David Champness Williams, Joseph Terry Williams, John Williams, James Martin Williams, Thomas Terry Williams, William Martin Williams, and Doctor Crawford Williams. Executors: James Martin Williams & Thomas Terry Williams.
21 Jul 1788, the will was proved by one of the witnesses. On 18 Aug 1788, another witness proved and James M. Williams was granted Probate with Joseph Terry Williams & Thomas Williams, as securities.

These seven sons of Lucy agree with the Will of William Williams and do not mention Lewis and Susannah.
