| Notes for Rebecca Caudill |
An article on the Pleasant Hadyn family and collateral relations in the 1956 Centennial Edition of the Rowan Co. News6 reads, in part,
"I will now drop back to Mrs. Adda Williams Porter, wife of C. C. Porter. She was born March 3, 1896, the youngest child of a family of nine children of William Washington and Rebecca (Caudill) Williams, who were married April 5, 1873 and set up housekeeping in a log house beautifully located about one mile from Elliottville, which he had purchased in 1871 from an Indian, Mr. Jackson. They continued to live here until their deaths in 1940 and 1941 respectively."
"Uncle Bill" was one man of whom even the vilest never said aught. He was born Jan. 16, 1848 in Morgan County, the son of Ambrose J. Williams, who was the son of one of the first settlers in Morgan County, John Williams, who came as a teen-age boy with his father, the Rev. Daniel Williams, from North Carolina aobut 1770 and settled first at Boonesboro, where he helped build the Fort there and fought with Daniel Boone against the Indians. Uncle Dan Williams is said to be the first Baptist preacher in Kentucky. He came to Morgan County about 1804." |
