General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Williams

---

He was a ruling elder of the Presbyterian Church at Mingo, Washington County, Pennsylvania, a trustee of Jefferson College at Canonsburg, and a director of Western Theological Seminary at Allegheny, Pennsylvania. He contributed much to benevolent purposes, and his residence on Peters creek, Washington County, was a great resort for preachers, and hence was called 'The Preacher's Home.'
