General Notes: Husband - Amos Williams
He and his wife were both natives of Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. [GPHAV, 827]
He was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania. [GPHNP, 419]
He came to Clarion County, Pennsylvania, from Mifflin County, about 1807, and settled on the road about half way between Clarion and Reidsburg. Williamsburg was named after him. He built a carding machine soon after his arrival, one of the first in the county, also owned some land which he cultivated. He was the first treasurer of Clarion county, and served for two successive terms. He had a family of nine daughters and no sons.
He and his wife removed from Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, to Clarion county about 1803. He was a wool carder by trade and brought the first carding machine to Clarion County. He purchased a farm, which he cleared and cultivated and on which he passed the remainder of his life.
He was educated and grew to manhood in Berks County, Pennsylvania, but when a young man moved to Clarion County, being in 1807 one of the first settlers of that county. He located at a point in Monroe township, later called Williamsburg in his honor. He had the distinction of having been elected the first treasurer of Clarion County, serving as such for two terms. He erected one of the first carding mills in the county, and also owned and cultivated land. In politics he was a Democrat, and in religion one of the leading members of the Baptist church.
