Individual Details
Maj. George Washington Williams
(7 Oct 1801 - 30 Jul 1870)
Lawyer
From letter written to Winnifred's cousin, Josiah William Ware, George Williams writes:
(written on January 21, 1827) George Williams wrote to Josiah William Ware that:
“There was but one object on earth whose idea was enthroned in the center of my soul. The possession of that object was the culmination of all my hopes, of all my desires. You know that Heaven gave it to me and in it, my wife. Since that time, the delirium (of young love) has subsided, the fever has abated, but in its place there has come a calm, a sensible, a reasonable knowledge of the worth of woman and the blessings of matrimony. I hope, after this, you will be unwilling to entertain any more thoughts about my want of affection for your cousin, Winny. What I have said, I assure you, is religiously true.”
