My Genealogy Hound

ISAAC D. WILLIAMS, farmer, P. O. Higginsport, is a son of Isaac D. Williams, Sr., and a grandson of Waldon Williams. The latter, one of the early settlers of Brown County, purchased a farm on Bullskin about 1813, and remained a resident until about 1829, when he located in Clermont County, but finally settled in Adams County, where he and wife both died. Of their twelve children, Isaac D., Sr., the seventh child, was born in Lewis Township, in 1817, but matured in Clermont County, and in 1848 married Priscilla, daughter of Jacob Stayton. In a short time after this marriage was solemnized, Isaac D. Sr., died, leaving a young widow, who, in 1849, had born to her a son, whose name heads this sketch, and on November 4, 1856, Priscilla died, aged thirty-four years eight months and one day. The subject of this sketch was left parentless at an early age, and was raised by his aunt, Hannah Stayton. He received a common school education, and has always devoted his time to farming. To this pursuit, he has given his time closely, and managed economically, which has resulted in the ownership of a farm of ninety acres, the original home of Jacob Stayton. He was married to Sarah P. Beebe, a descendant of an early pioneer family of Clark Township.
