William Williams, Revolutionary War soldier, farmer and preacher was born 20th December 1760 in or near Ft. Pitt, Pennsylvania. As stated in his application for a Revolutionary War pension (dated 1833), William and his father moved to Virginia in 1762. No mention is made of any other family members making the move with them. William states that he moved to Brunswick County at the start of the Revolutionary War. In 1795 William, his wife Elizabeth Daily Williams and their two sons, John R. and William D. moved to Bourbon County, Kentucky. Shortly after their arrival in Kentucky, it is said that Elizabeth Daily Williams passed away. The death date of Elizabeth, the date of son Jesse's birth and William's marriage date (to Margaret Plunkett) are contradictory and need to be more thoroughly researched. It is most likely that the mother of Jesse, born in 1797, is actually Margaret Plunkett Williams.
On 13th of Oct 1796, William married Margaret Plunkett in Bourbon Co, Kentucky. They had three children while living there -- Jesse, Sally and Joseph. In 1805, the Williams family again relocated. Their next move was to Preble Co, Ohio which is near the Indiana line, just west of Dayton. William and Margaret continued to add to their family -- Mary, David, Absalom and Robert were born in Preble Co.
On 26 Dec 1809 William obtained a license to perform marriages in Ohio. The family owned and maintained a farm of 159 acres, located in the NE ¼ Section 26, Twp. 8, Range 1, Jackson Township. Preble Co, Ohio.
* Last Will and Testament *
In the name of God amen, I WILLIAM WILLIAMS of the County of Preble and state of Ohio, being weak in body but sound of mind, memory, and understanding considering the certainty of death and the uncertainty of the time thereof and being desirous to settle my worldly affairs and thereby be the better prepared to leave this world when it shall please God to call me. Hence, I do therefore make this my last Will and Testament, in the manner and form following that is to say.
First and principally I commit my soul into the hands of Almighty God and my body to the earth, decently buried at the discretion of my executors herein after named and after my funeral charges and all my debts paid first, I want all my children that have not received an equal share in my life time to be made equal according to the list I have left with my executors.
Second, I give and bequeath unto my dear wife all the house hold furniture, lands, tenements and her entitlements to have and to hold as long as she lives or remains my widow and then to be equally divided among all my children.
Third, I give and bequeath unto my son JESSE'S two children, SUSANA WILLIAMS and WILLIAM H. WILLIAMS all his share of my estate.
Fourth, I appoint HENRY PADDACK and BENJAMIN FISHER my sole executors of this my last Will and Testament given under my hand and seal this fifth day of September 18?? (39).
Signed, sealed and delivered in the presence of

I am Russell Cochrane My mother was a Williams. Her line connected back to William Williams (1760 - 1841) is: Fred - Phillip T. - William D. Williams -Rev. William Williams. I am also stuck with William Williams 1760 - Ft. Pitt. If anyone has any clues to father or mother of William Williams, please share. My Williams were in Marion (Grant County) Indiana. I live in Columbus, Ohio now but will be going to Pittsburgh to root around. I have done the DNA testing and am matching up relatives with that. Fascinating ancestry research in the Williams line. Thanks. Russ Cochrane cochraneruss@yahoo.com
