8. John2 Williams
general: 1783 militia list; UEL Lineage II p.784, 845, 1236; Ernestown township records; The Old United Empire Loyalists List; Russ Waller's books on Ernestown families; corr. from Joan Lucas
parents: He may be the John Williams, son of Thomas Williams and Experience Hayden, who was born on 26 Jul 1717 in Killingworth CT (Barbour).  However, the Killingworth Town Records show a death: "John Williams died in fourth month of the 50 year of his age" [FHL film 1378453 p.251].  No date is given for the entry but it is among dates in the 1760s and late 1750s.  On p.254 of the same document is a marriage of John Williams and Siba Rathburn of Lyme, 17 Dec 1755.  No other trace of a John Williams was found in the Killingworth records other than an Elizabeth, born to John and Elizabeth Williams at East Haddam on 3 Dec 1722.  (nothing was found in the East Haddam records)

Thomas Williams appears in the land records only between 1705 when he was granted 24 acres, and 1714 when he purchased land from his brother Daniel.

Thomas Williams of Killingworth was the son of Augustine Williams, per a record dividing his father's estate between Thomas and his brothers Daniel and Matthew [FHL film 1378453 p.167-8].  In another record, Thomas quitclaims land to his mother Hannah Browne, administrator of his father's estate.

Thomas Williams and Experience Haydon were married 28 Sep 1704 [Town Records, FHL film 1378382 p.333].  The land records also list births of children from 1705 through 1720.  Thomas is probably the Thomas Williams who died on 17 Sep 1722 [FHL film 1378382 p.353].  No record of Experience's death or remarriage was found.
