Kentucky: A History of the State. Perrin, Battle & Kniffin, 2nd ed.,1885, Webster Co. JAMES C. WILLIAMS was born May 20, 1824, in what is now Webster County, and is a son of Stephen and Lucy (Curry) Williams. The father was born in Christian County, was a saddler, and died in 1832, aged forty-five. The mother was a native of Kentucky, born in Union County, and died in 1853. Our subject, at the age of twenty-five, settled on his present farm, consisting of 400 acres, 200 of which were in the old homestead. Mr. Williams now owns one of the best improved farms in this locality, all of which he has secured by his own management, and attention to business. He was married, in 1854, to Nancy K. Kuykendall, of Union County; this union has been blessed with three children, one son and one daughter living. Mr. and Mrs. Williamson [sic] are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
