Notes for EDWARD WILLIAMS:
Prince Edward deaths lists Edward and Mary as the parents of deceased
Thomas Dean Williams, Sr. They were from Henrico Co.
NOTE: It was thought that Robert and Elizabeth Benskin were Edward's parents,
but they were too old. We need to check further! I have copies of several deeds from Prince Edward County. One of the deeds shows that Edward Williams purchased land in Prince Edward County in 1802. This came to be known as the Woodall Place. (Actually it was the Williams Place.)
