W. S. Williams, farmer, was born in this county in 1844, his parents being T. N. and Candas (Moberly) Williams, natives of Kentucky, born in 1806 and [p.1214] 1816, respectively. After 1832 they made their home in Crawford County, where the father died in April, 1875, but the mother still lives. The paternal grandfather, David Williams, was a resident of Kentucky, and the maternal grandfather, Clem Moberly, and his wife, came from that State to Arkansas in an early day.

During the war Mr. Williams drove a Government team in the year 1862, in Gen. Blunt's army, and he was present at the battles of Saline River and Fayetteville. He has always
followed agricultural pursuits, and although he began life a poor man, now owns over 400 acres, and has 185 acres under a fine state of cultivation. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and is a
