"Deacon William Williams of Dalton was the son of Colonel Israel Williams. It was about the time of Dr. Perez Marsh's death that his brother-in-law, Deacon William Williams removed from Hatfield to Dalton. His body lies interred in the beautiful cemetery in Pittsfield; with which town Dalton has been from the first socially, and in all other good ways intimate."
Dea. William Williams and Dr. Perez Marsh settled as neighbors close by the eastern Pittsfield border, in full sight of Pittsfield, on the slope whose ridge a little higher up commands a view of Greylock on the north and westward all the Housatonic valley, and the scalloped Taconic rang toward wonderful sunsets, and through the gap where the Boston & Albany railway passes out of New England into New York, a glorious view of the mighty Catskill mountains.
Additional information from DH Williams is that Deacon Williams was married 21 Dec 1763 to Dorothy Ashley (born 5 Apr 1743 Deerfield, died 1833 Dalton), daughter of Rev. Jonathan Ashley and Dorothy (Williams) of Deerfield.
