JOHN WILLIAMS was born in Shelby County, Ky., August 19, 1801, and is a son
of John and Sarah (Kirkendall) Williams, natives of Pennsylvania and of German descent.
He grew to manhood on a farm, and acquired a rudimentary education at the Kentucky
subscription schools.  February 1, 1821, he married Elizabeh Pruitt, and to them were 
born nine children--Zerilda (deceased), Tabitha (deceased), Candace (deceased),
Perlina (deceased), John B., William, Matilda, Rice (deceased), and Levi (deceased).
The mother of these children died March 11, 1845, aged about forty-eight.  August 7,
1848, Mr. Williams wedded Elizabeth K. Whittaker, from which marriage resulted
one child--Mary M.  This mother also died (October 6, 1883), aged seventy-two.
Mr. Whittaker (Williams?)came to this State in 1830, and located on Government
land.  He now owns a good farm of 300 acres.
