      According to my research and sources, a William Williams b.1730, d. 1780 married a Lucy Terry, b. 1737 d. 1788. Among their children were a daughter, Lucy Terry Williams, b. 1768 d. 1-3-1861, not 1841 as often reported.(David Champness Williams died in 1841) Lucy Terry Williams married David Champness Williams on 1-26-1792 in Pittsylvania County. Lucy Terry Williams parents were David Terry and Elizabeth Luck.
