"1. Samuel1 Williams was one of the early settlers of Groton, Conn. He is supposed to have come direct from Wales to Groton, but this is family tradition only. Nothing further is yet known of him, or as to the date of his birth or death, or whom he married. He may have removed from Mass., or R. I., to Conn., and have belonged to the line of Robert Williams of Roxbury, 1637."
