This collection consists largely of Williams family correspondence, much of which is personal in nature. There are several letters to and from William Williams concerning politics, the activities of Congress, and military logistics such as provision of pork and horses. Some of the later William Williams letters relate to his position as a probate judge and contain discussions of debt and other matters. The collection of family correspondence extends nearly one hundred years beyond William Williams's death, until 1903. Most of these later letters were written between Ezekiel Williams's granddaughters: Hannah, Sophia, Mary, and Elizabeth Williams. The last decades of correspondence in this collection are dominated by letters between Elizabeth Williams Andrews and her daughters, Mary Williams Andrews and Elizabeth Parkhill Andrews. Also notable are several signatures of a day book, mostly religious in nature, that William Williams kept from 1776 until shortly before his death in 1811. Note that not all portions of the collection have been digitized. A grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission funded digitization of this collection.
