Jacob Williams & Joanna Dean Williams and Their Descendants: Volume I - The First Three Generations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578194806)

More than just a three-generation list of names, dates and places, "Jacob Williams & Joanna Dean Williams and their Descendants, Volume I - The First Three Generations" richly documents the lives of Jacob and Joanna, their children and their grandchildren with a biographical sketch for each individual containing historic facts and photographs gathered from family collections, government records and various historical resources. Jacob Williams and Joanna Dean Williams, natives of Easton, Bristol, Massachusetts and distant cousins, were both direct descendants of Richard Williams and Francis (Deighton) Williams, who first established their Williams family line in America when they emigrated from Gloucester, England to Massachusetts in 1635/1636. In 1781 Jacob and Joanna carried on the Williams pioneering spirit when they moved with their young son Caleb from Massachusetts to a remote area in the territory of Maine. Clearing and settling on 50 acres of land next to the Kennebec river Jacob and Joanna expanded their historic Williams family line into what is now Somerset County, Maine. Besides Williams, descendants of Jacob and Joanna from Maine include the prominent surnames of Atwood, Berry, Eames, Gray, Moulton, Taylor, Walker and Witham, just to name a few.
