| Notes |
Daniel Williams line is highly speculative. There is nothing to
substantiate the placekeepers in this genealogy for his parental line,
other than the migration of several Williams' from Taunton area, and
probably a finite potential from those Williams' living in Easton at
the time. He could have as easily been a descendant of John, or
Benjamin, two of the earliest settlers from Taunton, or of other
Taunton family members who settled there. The Keith and Dean names
are also prevalent in Taunton, Bridgewater-- as in later Easton.
HISTORY OF EASTON: "The first industry at the Morse privilege, South
Easton village was a saw-mill. In 1739 Daniel Williams bought a large
piece of land on the west side of Mill River at this place, with
house, barn, orchards, fences, etc. Between that time and 1747 this
saw-mill was errected. . . .in 1747 Daniel Williams brought a suit
against Daniel Keith ...The case was won by Daniel Williams. He
carried on the business here for many years, probably until his death,
which occurred in 1782." HISTORY OF EASTON: Origin of the furnace
business: Register's office at Taunton: Book 41, p.66 was found the
"Articles of agreement made and concluded upon the thirteenth day of
December, in ye 25th year. . annoque Domini one Thousand seven hundred
& fifty-one; witnesseth tht John Williams, gent., Daniel Williams,
gent., Matthew Hayward, yeoman, Josiah Keith, Jr., yeoman, Timothy
Williams, yeoman, Josiah Churchill, founder, Benjamin Williams, Jr.,
laborer, Jabez Churchill, laborer, all of Easton, etc. John Williams
and Daniel Williams were to own a quarter part each . . . to be
errected on land leased by Simeon Williams . . .
