GEORGE P. WILLIAMS, son of James and Anna (Adams) Williams, was born 
near Fairfax Court House, Va., February 15, 1818.  He is the ninth of a 
family of seven sons and four daughters, all of whom lived to be grown 
except one boy.  James Williams was born and reared in Fairfax County, 
Va.; was an extensive farmer and slave holder, and in 1835 immigrated to 
Shelby County, Ky., where he resided with his children until his death.  
He was of Scotch descent; his wife was a daughter of John Adams, who was 
born and reared in Fairfax County; he was of English descent; a farmer 
and slave owner, and served as an officer in the struggle for 
independence.  George P. Williams was reared on a farm, and at the age 
of fifteen left home and began the carpenter's trade in Washington City, 
D. C., where he lived for six years.  In the spring of 1837 he went to 
Louisville, Ky., where he was engaged for a number of years as architect 
and builder.  At the beginning of the war he was quite successful in 
speculating in horses.  In 1863 he located on a farm of 250 acres on Big 
Bend, two miles north of Bowling Green.  Then land is most Barren River 
bottoms, and is highly cultivated; his residence is located on a hill, 
commanding a few of the surrounding country for miles.  In February, 
1842, Mr. Williams married Isabella Medd, of Henderson, Ky., a native of 
Franklin County, Ind., who bore him seven children, five of whom were 
reared:  Charles M., Arabella Byce, now Mrs. James D. Bemiss; James M., 
Penelope (Doughtey), and George P., Jr.  Mrs. Williams' parents, Stephen 
and Mary Anna (Wynn) Medd emigrated from Durham County, England, in 
1818, to America, and settled in Franklin County, Ind., where Mrs. Medd 
died.  Later Mr. Medd moved to Louisville; thence to Henderson, Ky., and 
thence to New Orleans, where he died in 1858, aged fifty-seven years.  
His latter years were spent in the mercantile and produce business.  His 
second wife was a Mrs. McDada.  Mr. and Mrs. Williams and children are 
members of the Baptist Church, of Bowling Green; he is a member of the 
I. O. O. F.  In politics he is a Democrat, but cast his first 
presidential vote for Gen. Harrison.
