My grandfather's name was Silas Ephraim
Becket WILIAMS. He had a brother named Robert Madison WILLIAMS.
He also had three sisters, named Ester, Sallie, and Kate. Their
father's name was Thomas Becket WILLIAMS. Thomas WILLIAMS had a
brother named Falkland Hubert WILLIAMS. Thomas and Falkland
WILLIAMS father's name was Silas WILLIAMS, and he was married to
Nancy (ADAMS) WILLIAMS. My greatgrandfather Thomas Becket
WILLIAMS was apparently a schoolteacher in Benton, Illinois.
While he was in Benton, Illinois he joined the General John A.
Logan Regiment and fought in the Union Army. His brother
Falkland had also fought in the Civil but apparently fought on
the Confederate side. After the Civil war ended Thomas Becket
Williams became either a deputy sheriff or Sheriff of Jefferson
County or a nearby county. The entire Williams family originally
left from South Carolina in about 1803. Any information to
confirm the above would be appreciated.
