We here print exhaustive abstracts of the two wills and of all records and original papers on file relating to the settlement of the two estates found in the Bristol County Mass Registry of Probate We also print exhaustive abstracts of certain deeds recorded in the Bristol County Mass Registry of Deeds which prove that the widow Lydia King Williams married again and survived her second husband and prove the marriages of her daughters Lydia Bethia and Judith. The marriage of the fourth daughter Elizabeth to Henry Pitts Jr of Dighton is proved by original papers of Elizabeth's brother Edmund Williams owned by the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants.
