    I believe that Rev. Joseph Williams is the son of William Williams and Catherine Tyree. Among other research I have done, I find the middle name of the Rev. Benjamin Williams, son of Samuel Clement Williams to be Catherine's maiden name...Tyree! He is mentioned "Benjamin T." in his father's will.
