General Notes: Husband - Thomas Jacob Williams


He went to Ligonier Valley and operated a tannery for several years. Ill health compelled him to quit tanning and in 1836 he removed to South Huntingdon township, Westmoreland County, where he purchased a farm and acquired sufficient land to give each of his four sons a good farm. He was a strict member of the Evangelical Lutheran church, an earnest democrat and served his township as school director for several terms.

He and his wife had four sons and four daughters.
