    Notes:

    Notarized copy of remembrances of Miss Hattie E. Williams, July 25, 1954, Jefferson Co., AL: "Joseph Williams, the Immigrant, was born in Wales, an orphan, his father died when he was quite young and he was bound out to a man by the name of Paul as a boy and he was treated so cruelly that when he was twelve years of age a friend by the name of Mewbourne told him that he was old enough to choose his own guardian. Mr. Mewbourne went with him before the magistrate and assisted in arranging the papers releasing him from Mr. Paul. Joseph Williams then chose Mr. Mewbourne as his guardian. Later they settled in eastern North Carolina. Joseph lived with his kind friend, Mr. Mewbourne, until he was twenty-one years of age and then married his daughter, Mary Mewbourne. Later parts of the Mewbourne and Williams families moved to Edgecombe and Dobbs Counties, North Carolina. Joseph and Mary were the parents of a number of children, two of which were William Williams and Joseph Williams, Jr. There were other children belonging to this family, and these related families also had sons named "Mewbourne". We have never known any other Williams family who carried the name "Mewbourne" other than members of this Williams family." The will of Joseph Williams, Sr. was found on file in Duplin Co., NC (now Sampson Co.,NC) It is supposedly in his own handwriting but is so worn and faded that it is unreadable.

    The Heritage of Sampson County, North Carolina (1983) "Seven Mile Primitive Baptist, 1760" pp. 79-80 "The roots that gave rise to the origin of the Seven Mile Primitive Baptist Church, located today along SR 1703 in Westbrook Township, date back to 1690 in Wales, England when Elder Joseph Williams, Sr., a Baptist minister, came to America and settled in the Albermarle region of North Carolina in what is known today as Bertie County. He married Mary Mewboorn, the only daughter of Thomas Mewboorn, an Englishman, and his wife Eleanor. Thomas and Eleanor are the forebearers of the entire Mewborn lineage in the U. S. today. Joseph and Mary were married after coming to this country, but records state the Mewboorns and the Williams came over on the same boat. Coming about the same time was another Welsh family, brothers Charles Jones, Sr., and Joel Jones, who had kept close ties with the Williams family back in Wales. This Jones family was noted for strong religious character, traits and practices in Wales for centuries prior to the family's coming to America. According to records, Charles Jones, Sr., and Joel Jones left Bertie County and came to New Hanover (now Sampson) in 1744, where they had acquired land grants between Seven Mile and Big Coharie Swamps. Here, they cleared the land and built homes. Many of their direct descendants still live today on this same soil. Elder Joseph Williams, Sr. and wife Mary with their children accompanied the Jones family from Bertie County about the same time and acquired a land grant in the Goshen community

    Notes:

    "Genealogy of the Williams Family" by R. C. Griffin, Historian;
    A brief history of Rev. Joseph Williams in whose honor the Williams Family reunion is held at Wingate, North Carolina, on August 19, 1930. "Rev. Joseph Williams, Jr., was born in eastern Carolina in 1737, supposed to have been in what was then Duplin County, now Sampson County. He enlisted with his brother, William Williams, in the Continental Army, June 10, 1777, and served until the end of the war, in Sept. 3, 1778. In 1761 he had married Martha Parrot and they lived in what was the Rock Fish Creek neighborhood in Sampson County. About 1785 or 1787 he was asked by the Council of Safety of North Carolina to come to Anson County and preach the Gospel, instructing the people as to the duties to Almighty God and in the ways of right living. Under these instructions he moved his family (in 1787) from Duplin County to Meadow Branch, North Carolina, and settled on what is now known as the Ervin Williams Plantation.

    The Heritage of Sampson County, North Carolina 1983 "After the Revolutionary War ended in 1781, Elder Joseph Williams, Jr. and wife Martha sold their land on Goshen Swamp* and moved to Anson County, the part of which is now Union County, where they purchased land and settled on the spot where Wingate College now stands. He was sent there to organize the first Baptist church in that frontier area. This church is known today as High Hill Primitive Baptist, located on the outskirts of Monroe."

    Source: "Saturday Before the Second Sabbath", a History of Meadow Branch-Wingate Baptist Church 1810-1984, by Carolyn Caldwell Gaddy, p. 10, "After serving during the Revolutionary War in the First North Carolina Regiment under Col. Thomas Clark, Joseph Williams came to Union Co. from Sampson Co. and bought land from John Bivens in 1797, near the location of the first Meadow Branch Church. Elder Williams and his second wife Martha were buried in the Williams' family graveyard near Wingate on the old Monroe-Ansonville road. A reunion is held at the grave in his honor on Tuesday after the third Sunday in August of each year.

    "Our Heritage: Genealogy of the Williams Family" by John B. Williams, Marshville, NC.; The Monroe Enquirer, Monroe, NC, June 28, 1962: " Rev. Joseph Williams lived to be an old man. He had often said that he and Martha having lived to a ripe old age, he hoped they might die together. He made his will July 4, 1825, having Nathan(iel) Bivens and Grissom Taylor witness it. A few days later he and his wife died within a few hours of each other but I do not know which went first. (Another report says two days apart.--Margie Williams Baucom) They are buried at the Williams Griffin cemetery at the William Ervin Williams old home place about 5 miles east of Monroe, NC, on the old Monroe-Ansonville Road (Union Co., NC), being the first persons buried there. Their graves were marked with slate rock. A movement has been on foot to erect a suitable monument on the spot." (Bill Baker reported on March 20, 1999, that a newer marker by the DAR has now been placed there.) Will recorded in Anson Co., NC

    Records of North Carolina, Volume 25, Pages 247, 270, and 271." The following information was obtained from Bill Tilley. It originally came from the UNION BAPTIST ASSOCIATION, Chapter XII, ELDER JOSEPH WILLIAMS, 1825. Elder Joseph Williams was the second Baptist preacher to settle in this county. He came here from Sampson County about the year 1805. He purchased a tract of land from John Bivins, which he had entered July 10, 1797. This land is still in the hands of the descendants of the old preacher. It is owned by Mr. Henry Frank Williams. Thus you can see that it has been in the Williams family for more than a hundred years. The old preacher was twice married. His second wife was named Martha. She is buried beside him in the old Williams graveyard near Wingate, NC." Note from Anne Medlin Sendgikoski: This is surely Martha Parrott, but this was the first I had heard that he was married before her.) Military: Rev War: Enlisted in the Continental Army as a Rev Soldier from Duplin Co, NC on 10 June 1777. He was assigned to the 1st NC Reg under Col Thomas Clarke. Joseph taken prisoner with William Williams also a Rev Soldier on Apr 4,1779 and was held in prison until Nov 1779. Mustered out of Army Mar1780. Moved 1785 to Anson Co, NC. Joseph Williams' Rev War Certificate shows that he enlisted on 10 June 1777 and was on the roll of Lt Colonel Mebane's Company of the 1st NC Battalion Commanded by Col Thomas Clark (chp note :Clark spelled without the final "e" on this record. Copy of this record in chp files)2 Court Records: Will Book A, Page 118 3 He served in the Revolutionary War in the 1st Revolutionary Regiment under Col. Thomas Clark. Following the war, Joseph and his wife, Martha moved from their home in Eastern (sic), NC to Anson County, in that part which was in Anson County, prior to 1842. They settled in the Meadow Branch section of the county, near Wingate, on what was then called the William Erwin Williams plantation. He died there on July 6, 1825. His wife died about 40 hours later. The following information was received from William E. "Bill" Tilley, son of Selma Glady Duncan Tilley, of Mint Hill, NC on July 19, 2000: "This ancestor's services in assisting in the establishing of American independence during the War of the Revolution is as follows: Joseph Williams was born in that part of Duplin County, North Carolina that was in 1784 formed into Sampson County. In 1785, he moved to that part of Mecklenburg County (or Anson County) that was formed into Union County in 1842, where he died on July 25, 1825, and was buried in a family burying ground (called the Williams) about four miles from Monroe. Like most of the Williams men he very early on became interested in public affairs and was elected, while a young man, to the North Carolina Assembly. He was also a preacher of the Gospel, and we find him active in bring charges against rectors and vestrymen of the established church for what he believed to be illegitimacies, and was on the House Committe.
