- Military Service: Military Service
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
Family/Spouse: Mary Mewborn. Mary (daughter of Thomas Mewborn and Eleanor Goreham) was born in 1728 in Bertie County, North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
