- Pedigree of Williams
--------------------
Walter Williams, of Court Robert, in S. Wales, m. ......... by whom he had issue 1 son:
William Williams,*+ who was born 28 Nov., 1752; he m. Mary (?) ... b. 14 Oct., 1746; d. 21 Dec., 1787; by whom he had issue 1 son, Walter, and 2 daus:
1. Mary-Ann, who m. 4 Oct., 1798, Henry Tatham, 1770-1835, brother of Charles Heathcote Tatham.
2. Harriet, who was b. 18 Jan., 1780, and d. 13 Jan., 1834; bur. at Brompton Old Church. She m.,1801, at St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, Charles Heathcote Tatham, 1772-1842; p.32. A miniature of Harriet Williams, by John Linnell, (1792-1882, the friend of William Blake) is in the possession of Mr. Justice Tatham, D.S.O., of the Supreme Court, Pietermaritzburg, Natal.
* He was the well-known Button-maker at 103, St. Martin's Lane, London, where his firm appears at this address in 1797, as Williams & Son; in 1808, as Wm. Williams & Son, Button-makers, Platers and Thimble-manufacturers; in 1818, as Wm. Williams, Button and Trimming Seller; and in 1822, as Walter Williams, Button-maker and Wholesale Silversmith.
+ This William Williams may be identical with the William Williams, Esq., who m., Lambton, 3rd surv. dau., of Crosier Surtees, of Redworth, co. Durham, who m. 12 Sept., 1769, at Heighington, his cousin Jane Surtees, dau. and co-h. of Robert Surtees, of Redworth.
[Curtis]
[Note: The last connection is speculative:
- (1) The name William Williams is frequent at all periods, and there is no reason to suppose these 2 persons are one and the same;
- (2) The present Williams family was from South Wales, settled in London; whereas the Surtees family was from Co. Durham and had no known links with London, or South Wales;
- (3) In Burke's Commoners (Vol II pp 656-659, 1836), presumably Curtis's source, the husband of Lambton Surtees is "William Williams, esq. of Durham".
For these reasons Lambton Surtees has not been included in the Tatham tree as 2nd wife of William Williams.]
