Agnes Bullock, daughter of Richard Bullock and Anne Henley, married Lord George Keeling c.1740 in the home of her parents' estate, Nine Oaks in Granville, North Carolina. Their children were...
Elizabeth Keeling c.1742 (Judge Richard Henderson 1734–1785),
John Keeling c.1744 (Fannie Henderson),
Frances Keeling c.1750 (Bromfield Ridley),
Annie Keeling c.1751 (Thomas Satterwhite),
Agatha Keeling/Williams c.1757 (Col Robert Burton).
After George Keeling died c.1759, Agnes Bullock Keeling married on 12 November 1759 Judge John Williams of Virginia, son of John Williams Sr. (1704-1770) and his wife Mary Womack, from Hanover Co Virginia. Judge Williams had moved to North Carolina around 1745. He built an estate and plantation he named Montpelier in Granville County, North Carolina. Having been trained as a carpenter it is thought he did much of the planning and building of the estate himself. The Montpelier Plantation was located in what was then Williamsboro, North Carolina which was named after Judge Williams because he had donated the land for the town. The area is now known as Vance County, Henderson, North Carolina.
Judge Williams was a colonel in the North Carolina militia during the American Revolutionary War. He was a Continental Congressman as a delegate from North Carolina, attending in 1778 and 1779, and was one of the signers of the Articles of Confederation.
Judge Williams was one of the trustees of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was a Judge of the Supreme Court of North Carolina from 1779 until his death.
In his will Judge Williams left the Montpelier Plantation to his beloved wife Agnes, and after her death, to his grandson Francis Nash Burton, son of his daughter Agatha and her husband Colonel Robert Burton, who was also a Continental Congressman as a delegate from North Carolina. They were all buried in the family cemetery at Montpelier.
Note1: It is thought Judge Williams adopted Agatha when he married Agnes.
