Williams was born in Cumberland County, Kentucky on 5 April 1813. He lived for a time in Martinsville, Indiana, then settled in Burlington, Iowa in 1837. Williams relocated to Eddyville in 1844. Williams met and married his first wife while a resident of Indiana. After she died, he married Nancy Elliott. Elliott died in 1851, and Williams later married R. J. Johnson from Eddyville.[1]
