• Notes

  There appears to have been several families bearing the name of Williams among the early settlers of Now London county, each appearing to be independent and unconnected with the others. To compile a genealogy of these families is a difficult and perplexing task. There are, however, so many people at the present age who ore trying to find out their various ancestral lines for the purpose of forming a family tree or chart, or to ascertain whether any one of their ancestors were in the Revolutionary service, that they may thereby be enabled to join the " Sons of the Revolution," or "Daughters ofthe Revolution," that the genealogist is greatly helped by the information gained from these many sources of historical facts gleaned from every form of record to be found by these record searchers. "Thomas Williams," Miss Caulkins says, "appears in the plantation about 1670. He lived west of the river at or near Mohegan, and died Sept. 24, 1705, about 61 yearrs of age." The names of his ancestors she does not give, nor has any historian, since her writings, given any clue to his parentage. His age at death compares very closely to that of Thomas, son of Robert of Roxbury, whose birth is given as about 1644, but who, Farmer says in his "Genealogical History," died without issue. Farmer may have been mistaken, and Thomas of Roxbury may have followed the tide of immigration into Connecticut and settled in the wilds of Mohegan, and reared a family unobserved by the esirly historian. That Thomas Williams was a contemporary with Samuel Rogers is quite evident from the facct that Grace, a daughter of Thomas Williams, married Daniel, son of Samuel Rogers, while other members of his family married settlers on Mohegan lands. The wife of Thomas Williams was called Johanna __________; her maiden name has not been recovered. He died about 1705. His inventory was taken September 4th of same year. After his death his widow married Samuel Rogers, who died 1 Dec., 1713, leaving her again a widow.
