Thomas Simpson Williams on 27 Jul 1837 at the age of almost 31 leaving no will. He was living in Perry County, IL with his wife, Margery Dixon Williams, son, Chesley and daughter, Elizabeth. He had moved to Perry County in the Fall of 1827, leaving behind his pregnant wife, Alaphar Green. Alaphar bore a son, Fidelio on 10 Jan 1828. She moved to Graves County, KY and lived with her parents, Edmund Green and Elizabeth Watson Green. Alaphar filed a claim against the estate for her son. She won (see Alaphar's receipt below). Shortly after Simpson's death, Margery and children moved back to Christian County and lived with William Williams (father of Simpson). William's wife, Martha Wells Williams and children had moved to Perry County prior to Simpson's death.
Richard Williams is the younger brother of Simpson.
