The descendants of Veach Williams, of Lebanon, Conn

About this book

Robert Williams (ca. 1593-1693) and his family emigrated, perhaps from Norwich, England, and settled at Boston and then Roxbury, Massachusetts. His descendant of the fifth generation, Veach Williams (1727-1804), was born at Lebanon, Connecticut, the son of Ebenezer Williams (1691-1740). He married Lucy Walsworth (1732- 1795), daughter of William and Mary Avery Walsworth of Groton, Connecticut, in 1753. They had eleven children, 1755-1775, born at Lebanon. He was a captain in the Connecticut Miltia during the Revolutionary War. Descendants lived in Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Georgia, and elsewhere.
