Thomas Williams, the third of the name, belongs to one of the oldest pioneer families in the County of Essex, and his father was one of the first settlers in Gosfield. The members of this family have always been farmers, and Mr. Williams is now living on the original homestead granted his father, on Lot 273, Talbot Road South, where he himself was born March 17, 1839.
     The first of the family to come to America was his grandfather, Thomas Williams (1), who came from Wales and located in the State of Pennsylvania before the Revolution. He was a Loyalist, and one of those who left the States and went to Canada when the war broke out. He died in Colchester South, County of Essex, Ont., and his wife Mary afterward made her home with her grandson, Thomas, in Gosfield North, where her death occurred in 1859. They reared a large family as follows: Thomas (2); James; John; Charles; George; Nancy, wife of Francis Neville; and Sarah, wife of John Bottom, of Gosfield township. Both daughters left families. None of this generation are living.
     Thomas Williams (2) was born in Malden township, in the County of Essex, Ont., Oct. 4, 1806, but grew up in Gosfield township, where he and his twin sister, Nancy, were bound out to a Mr. Scratch, the parents being too poor to care for their family properly. There were no schools in the county at that time, and Mr. Williams was kept steadily at work on Mr. Scratch's farm...
