    William4 (Williams) born 11th May, 1688. He graduated at Harvard in 1705 and was ordained as minister at Weston, Mass., in 1709. He married first, Hannah, daughter of Solomon and Esther (Warham) Mather Stoddard, sister of his father's second wife. Dr. Williams says "he married before his father" but as he was only 11 years old at the time of his father's second marriage that is in error. He married second, Sarah, widow of Rev. James Stone of Newton-Holliston. "Mr. Williams was esteemed a scholar and a good preacher. After his dismission, contrary to the too frequent practice of clergymen that are removed from office, he was a peaceable parishoner, and treated his successor with kindness and respect. He preached the Artillery election sermon in 1737 and the General election sermon in 1741, both of which were published. He died on the 6th March, 1760, in his 72nd year.
