JEREMIAH WILLIAMS (9 Jul 1749 - 27 Feb 1834)

Jeremiah Williams was born to Benjamin and Mercy Williams in Kingwood, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. At the age of 8, his family moved across the Delaware River to Bucks County, PA, where he was raised on his father’s farm in Nockamixon Township. Since Jeremiah and his family were Quakers, they probably did not take up arms during the Revolutionary War (1776-1783). On 22 Apr 1779, Jeremiah married Mary Blackledge (1758 - 21 Jun 1831) at the Richland Meeting, Bucks County, PA.
