Talk:William Williams (printer and publisher)

Great find
— Fantastic find!! Great image!! I searched far and wide for sources and it amazes me that the source (book) for Williams' portrait had repeatedly escaped me. Many many thanks. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 22:12, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem! There may be more useful content in the source, a 1906 biography. Additionally, I can't seem to verify the references to William Williams at Appleton's Cyclopaedia of American Biography (1900), although Williams does have an entry in the 1915 edition. And lastly, there seems to be discrepancy regarding number of children: user-generated sources like Find a Grave, WikiTree, and WeRelate (which may not be reliable or accurate at all) suggest Williams had more children besides Robert Stanton and Samuel Wells. William Frederic Williams, D.D. (aka William Frederick Williams; father of Talcott Williams) is listed as a son here, and a 1904 encyclopedia entry for William Frederic mentions a brother Samuel Wells, a missionary in China.  --Animalparty!

 * — Yes, I'm looking into the matter of Williams' children at this moment. One of his sons Grandsons, John Camp Williams, authored the book which you've presented, which has got me digging further into this area. Once again, many thanks. Any further light you can shed on matters is most welcomed. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 23:04, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
