1850 census he was living in Macon County, TN with children Martha Maizie, Mary and Minerva. (their mother Mary died in 1848)

1860 census he was living in Macon County, TN with 2nd wife Martha and children Mariah Jane and Thomas Clinton

1st wife - Mary Unknown
Children - Martha Ann Williams, Maizie Caroline Williams, Mary Laura Williams, Nancy Margaret Williams, Minerva P Williams

2nd wife - Martha Clanton Williams

These are all I've found so far.

I do not believe he is the same person as Thomas W Williams of Mecklenburg Co, NC.
I do not believe Thomas A Williams was married to Martha Nance .... she was married to Thomas W Williams (77491310) who is buried next to her in the Bethel Presbyterian Church Cemetery in NC

"Before this election took place the county was subdivided into seven civil districts by the commissioners appointed for that purpose, and the election precincts established respectively at the houses of John B. Johnson, Moses Meador, John Vance, Meadowville, William Weaver, Henry Davis and John Wakefield. The elections were held at the time and places aforesaid, and the following officers were elected, to wit: Anderson Bratton, William Roberson, Charles Simmons, Haylum Pursley, Taylor G. Gillum, Jefferson B. Short, Ichabod Young, Jacob S. Johnson, Lewis Meador, William Roarke, James J. York, James Patterson and John Henderson as justices of the peace; Thomas A. Williams, clerk; King Kerley, sheriff; William Weaver, register, and Daniel O. Pursley, trustee; Thomas A. Meador, George White, Edward Barbee, Ensley Wilmore, B. Y. Turner, Bennett Wright and James G. Slone, constables. These officers all qualified and assumed the duties of their respective offices at the April term, 1842, of the county court, which was then composed of the new justices of the peace."
"The town was immediately laid out, containing the public square, the streets, and seventy-five lots, and named La Fayette. The job of clearing the timber from the public square and streets was let to Gilbra Seegraves for $98, and at the June term, 1843, of the county court, the work was reported completed. Prior to July, 1842, the courts were held at the house of William Dunn, and from that date until February, 1843, they were held at La Fayette, in a small log house furnished by Britton Holland, and after that date at the house of Thomas A. Williams until the courthouse was completed."
