Samuel Williams was born about 1817 in Ohio. He married Rebecca Benham on April 8, 1841 in
Greene Co., Indiana.
Rebecca Benham, (daughter of Joel Benham & Rebecca Hicks) was born March 16, 1821 in
Indiana and died May 26, 1862 in Greene Co., Indiana. She is buried in Simpson Chapel
Cemetery in Scotland, Greene Co., Indiana.
Samuel Williams was trustee of Simpson Chapel Methodist Church. I think that Rebecca died
sometime after giving birth to a baby girl, Amelia Williams, who was born April 24, 1862
and then died August 24, 1862. Samuel and Rebecca's daughter, Elizabeth Williams, is
also buried in the cemetery.
Does any one know what happened to Samuel Williams and his children after the death of
Rebecca? I can't seem to find them anywhere.
They were the parents of:
1. William T. Williams, born about 1842
2. Martha J. Williams, born about 1843
3. Elizabeth Williams 22 Dec 1844 - 7 Feb 1862
4. James Williams born about 1846
5. J. Axey Williams born about 1848
6. John Williams about 1849
7. Rebecca Williams born about 1850
8. Susan Williams born about 1852
9. Noah Williams born about 1854
10. Isaac Williams born about 1855
11. Mary E. Williams born about 1857
12. Joel Williams born about 1859
13. Celestia Williams born about 1860
14. Amelia Williams 21 Apr 1861 - 24 Aug 1862.
Samuel and Rebecca were living in Greene Co. in 1850 & 1860.
