Excerpt from The Ancestors and Descendants of Ezekiel Williams of Wethersfield, 1608 1907 The first descendant of Robert Williams of Roxbury to settle in Wethersfield was his great-grandson, Elisha, Rev., Rector, Col., etc., of whom so much has been preserved elsewhere that nothing further need be added here. His line of descent will easily be found in the following pages. Ezekiel was his nephew and came here when quite a young man. He probably engaged in business with his uncle, who was then of the firm of Williams, Trumbull 81 Pitkin, a business house interested in extensive mercantile operations at home and abroad and had branch establishments in several different places. The facts concerning the early American ancestors of Ezekiel Williams, which are recorded in the earlier pages of this work, are derived from several sources. The earliest compilation known is an ancient manuscript in the hand writing of Ezekiel's father, Rev. Solomon Williams, D.D.
