John Williams ca 1620/25 - 1687
| his parents
& Ann Whitely
| her parents
of Isle of Wight County, Virginia
This is my working hypothesis - the way I
see it as of this moment!!
John Williams was probably the John Williams who
was the headright of Col. Robert Pitt in 1643 (Nugent
1,145) and whose land in Nansemond is shown on a patent of 1662
to be near Robert Pitt of Isle of Wight--property granted in 1663 to
Thomas Davis but assigned to John Williams (ibid 488-89).
When the widow Ann Whitely filed to administer her late husband's estate
in 1672 the bondsmen were Col. Pitt's son John Pitt and Thomas Poole. John
Williams made his will 7 Feb 1686 which was proved 2 May 1687. Dr.
Barry Hayes

Williams. My father was Hiram Williams and we are direct line
descendants of Lewis Williams who was the father of Benjamin Williams.

He married Elizabeth Ann Whitley in 1671. She was b. 1654 and
died1694. Her parents were Captain John Wheatly (spelling changed back and

John died 3/9/1691 and his will was proved 8/9/1692. They had the
following Children: Bridgett b 1676, d 1677, Elizabeth ?, Richard b
1674, d. 1675, Jane b. 1681, d 1682, Theophilus b 1684, D 1691, Nicholas b
