"Frank Williams was examined before Justice Foster at Provincetown Saturday morning for assaulting with a marlinspike, with intent to kill, John Malcolm of Providence, on board the schooner Addie Cole. In default of $3000 bonds he was committed to the Barnstable jail to await trial at the October term of the superior court." Barnstable Patriot, 25 Sept 1883, p2

"John Malcolm, the man who was assaulted on board sch. Addie Cole at Provincetown by Frank Williams, who is now in Barnstable jail waiting the action of the grand jury, is rapidly recovering from his wound." Barnatable Patriot, 2 Oct 1883, p2

"Frank Williams pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging him with intent to kill John Malcolm of Provincetown. Jury disagreed. Defendent plead guilty to assault, and was sentenced to eight months in the House of Correction." Barnatable Patriot, 16 Oct 1883, p2

"Truro.
Frank Williams, a Portugue, was arrested and taken to Provincetown recently for beating and otherwise using cruel treatment toward's his wife's son Johnnie. If Mr. Williams meets with the punishment he deserves, Truro will be rid of him foe while." BP 28 Apr 1885, p3

Truro.

GEORGE WILLIAMS

ORIGIN: Unknown
MIGRATION: 1633
FIRST RESIDENCE: Salem
OCCUPATION: Cooper (his inventory included such items as cooper's timber, cooper's axes and trussing hoops).
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: In list of Salem church members prepared at end of 1636, with annotation "dead" [ SChR 5]; admission prior to 14 May 1634 implied by freemanship.
FREEMAN: 14 May 1634 [ MBCR 1:368].

OFFICES: Customs officer for Salem, 22 August 1654 (with Samuel Archer, to prevent money coined "in this jurisdiction" from leaving the colony [ MBCR 3:354]).
Essex jury, 27 December 1636, 25 March 1639 [ EQC 1:4, 11]; Essex petit jury, 28 December 1647, 25 June 1650, 24 June 1651, 28 June 1653 [ EQC 1:129, 191, 229, 283]; chosen by Salem court to "gauge and seal casks" [ EQC 1:171].
ESTATE: Granted forty acres at Jeffrey's Creek in "freeman's" section of 1636 Salem division [ STR 1:19, 25, 26, 37]; one of eight men who had "each 1/2 an acre of land granted them at Winter Harbor for fishing trade, & to build upon," 16 January 1636/7 [ STR 1:33]; granted one acre of meadow, for a household of six, in division of 25 December 1637 [ STR 1:101].
A little spot of land, about a quarter of an acre, located between his meadow and that of Frances Skerry, was granted to George Williams 26 November 1649 [ STR 1:161].
On 29 March 1652 "Samuell Archard," attorney to Captain Richard Mariner, sold to "George Will[ia]ms of Salem, cooper," one house and one and three-quarters acres in Salem [ ILR 1:12].
The houselot of George Williams (and its fate after his death) is described in Essex Ant 8:74-76.
In his will, dated 23 September 1654 and proved 29 November 1654, George Williams of Salem "sick in body" bequeathed to "Marie Williams my loving wife" for life "my now dwelling house with all the land thereunto belonging being about four acres and three quarters" (and after her death to "John Williams my eldest son"), and to her also one-third of estate, to "Marie Bishop my daughter" £5 and "to her two children £5 to be divided betwixt them," and to "John Samuel Joseph & Georg Williams my sons and Sara & Bethia Williams my daughters" the residue of the estate "to be divided to them by equal portions save only my daughter Sara to have a double portion in respect of her infirmity; wife Marie and son John to be overseers, they "to bring up and provide for the rest of my children, instructing and teaching them in the trade I now profess" [ EPR 1:195-97].
The inventory of George Williams, taken 18 October 1654 by Elias Stileman Jr. and Richard Bishop, totalled £326 11s. (with debts of £51 10s. 7d.), of which £57 was real estate: "one house & out buildings with 4 acres of land at the house, half an acre of it in orchard," £40; "10 acres of planting land," £5; and "3 acres & quarter of meadow," £12 [ EPR 1:197-98].
In her will, dated 1 October 1654 and proved 29 November 1654, "Marie Williams of Salem widow" bequeathed to "Sara Williams my daughter" one-half the one-third part of his estate given to her by "her late husband George Williams" (to be "improved by the oversight of Thomas Watson, Henerie Skerrie and Jefferie Massey or any two of them for the use and behoof of the said Sara"), to "Marie Bishop my daughter" £5, to "Samuel Williams my son" £5, to "Joseph Williams and Georg Williams my sons and to Bethia Williams my daughter" the residue of the estate, and to daughters Marie Bishop, Sara Williams and Bethia Williams my wearing apparel; signed by mark; witnessed by Richard Bishop and Thomas Robins [ EPR 1:199].
The inventory of the estate of "Mary Williams, widow of George Williams," taken 17 November 1654 by Elias Stileman Jr. and Richard Bishop, totalled £131 3s. 3½d. [ EPR 1:199-200].
On 1 December 1654 the court ordered that "Joseph Williams and George Williams, sons of George Williams, late of Salem, deceased," were to "dwell with their brother, John Williams, after the manner of apprentices, until they are twenty-one, and be taught the trade of a cooper according to their father's will"; "Bethia, the daughter of the deceased," was to be put out to a good family, "where she would be well educated" [ EPR 1:198].
BIRTH: By about 1605, based on estimated age of eldest child.
DEATH: Salem between 23 September 1654 (date of will) and 18 October 1654 (date of inventory).
MARRIAGE: By 1630 Mary ____; she died Salem between 1 October 1654 (date of will) and 17 November 1654 (date of inventory). (Her name is not seen until the will of George Williams, but no other wife is seen, and the language of her will indicates that she was mother of all the children.)
CHILDREN:
i JOHN, b. say 1630; m. by 1664 Elizabeth _____ (eldest known child of "John Williams, cooper, and Elizabeth" b. Salem 29 May 1664); m. (2) Salem 23 November 1665 widow Elizabeth Smith (as "John Williams, seaman"). (There is a steady sequence of children born to "John Williams, cooper, and Elizabeth" from 1664 to 1674; his occupation places him as son of George. But does the second Elizabeth above belong to him? There does not seem to have been another John Williams having children in Salem at the time, and a cooper might well also be a seaman, so we have assumed that John had two wives Elizabeth, but further research might show that there were two men by the name of John Williams. Note also that there is a Salem baptism of 5 April 1663 for "Elizabeth, daughter of Elizabeth Williams," which might belong in this family as well [ SChR 26].)

ii MARY, b. say 1632; m. by 1650 _____ Bishop (two children born to this couple by 1654); his identity has not been demonstrated. (Richard Bishop, who appears to have been about the same age as George Williams, appraised the estates of both George and his widow, and witnessed the widow's will; perhaps Mary married one of his sons.)

iii SARAH, b. say 1634; from the wills of her mother and father it appears that she was physically or mentally impaired, and it is unlikely that she ever married.

iv JONATHAN, bp. Salem 25 December 1636 [ SChR 16]; no further record.

v SAMUEL, bp. Salem 12 August 1638 [ SChR 16]; m. Salem 2 April 1662 Mary Veren.

vi JOSEPH, bp. Salem 10 May 1640 [ SChR 17]; m. Salem 20 November 1661 Sara Browning [Walter Goodwin Davis, The Ancestry of Lieut. Amos Towne (Portland 1927) p. 21].

vii BETHIA, bp. Salem 13 November 1642 [ SChR 19]; m. Salem 6 July 1661 Obadiah Rich.

viii GEORGE, bp. Salem 1 September 1644 [ SChR 20]; living in 1654 when he was named in the wills of his mother and father; no further record.

COMMENTS: In Essex court 30 March 1641 to determine time remaining for apprentice Matthew Jellet [ EQC 1:25], and as plaintiff against John Pickworth, who was ordered not to "meddle with any more of those trees" [ EQC 1:26].

Defense Attorneys Charge Crime to Voters Who Put George S. Williams in to Settle Town Feud

Protesting his innocence and determined to adhere to his original “not guilty” plea up to a late hour Tuesday afternoon, George S. Williams, former Truro Town Clerk, Treasurer and Tax Collector, indicted on two charges of larceny and another of conspiracy, suddenly changed his plea to guilty when arraigned before Judge Walter L. Collins in the Barnstable Superior Court and was sentenced to two years in the Barnstable House of Correction on the larceny charge consisting of 70 counts.

A sentence of one year in the House of Correction was imposed on William D. Parker, formerly auditor of the Town of Truro, who pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to commit larceny from the Town of Truro.

After both men had entered guilty pleas the sentencing would have been more or less a formality but for the blast leveled by Attorney S. Osborn Ball against disgruntled Truro voters who had put Mr. Williams, his client, into office.

“I want to say,” stated Mr. Ball, “that this court record should stand as an indictment against lazy voters who sit back and elect an official to public office and then say ‘time will tell.’ Mr. Williams was elected to office by a slight majority of voters who were determined to satisfy a grudge against a Board of Selectmen whom they considered too conservative to hold office. In this matter those voters of Truro are the real criminals.”
