FRANCIS WILLIAMS
Francis Williams applied for revolutionary pension while residing in White
County, Tennessee, in 1832. He was born in January, 1752, in Pennsylvania, and
moved to Maryland in infancy with his mother, his father then being dead. Their
names are not stated in his pension application. While he resided in Hartford
County, Maryland, about twenty-five miles from Baltimore, he was a member of
small parties in protecting the property of citizens from attacks by the enemy.
He then volunteered and served as a private in Captain Bennett Bussey's company
in Maryland troops. The company marched from Baltimore to Annapolis and returned
to Baltimore and then marched by way of Philadelphia to Fort Washington. He
witnessed the battle of White Plains where three members of his company were
killed, although the company was not actually engaged in the battle.
He moved from Maryland to what was later Carter County, Tennessee and moved
from there to White County, Tennessee, where he died March. 1, 1833. His wife
predeceased him. Their children were: Mary Connor, born in 1772; James Williams,
who in 1861 was 66 years of age and living in White County, Tennessee; and
Francis Williams, born 1791.
