Boddie, John B, Historical Southern Families, Vol 6, pub 1962, Pacific Coast Publishers, Redwood City CA; book is part of a series (over 20 volumes) that publishes genealogies of southern families. Vol 6 includes an outline of John Williams of Isle of Wight Co, VA.

There are multiple men named John Williams in Isle of Wight County in the mid-late 1600's. John Boddie describes John Williams, deceased by 1686/87 as the husband of Ann Whitely with children John, Thomas, Elizabeth, Ann and Sarah (see p 211);

also describes 2nd John Williams, deceased 1691/92, also wife named Anne and children John, William, Thomas, Nicholas, Richard, Theopolis, Mary and Jane.

This book provides additional clues to the Williams family but review of original records (to extent available) will be necessary to confirm information published in this work.
