Biographical Summary
Thomas Williams and his sister Elizabeth are found amongst the Leiden
church congregation. On 11 March 1616, Thomas Williams was a
witness to his sister Elizabeth's marriage to Roger Wilson; Elizabeth is
recorded in the record as having been from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
The parish registers of Great Yarmouth show the baptism of Elizabeth
Williams, daughter of John and Judith (Short) Williams, on 9 January
1591/2. Older brother Thomas was baptized on 12 August 1582.
They had a brother John as well, and there is a John Williams in Leiden,
but there is not enough evidence to make a conclusive connection.
Thomas Williams came on the Mayflower by himself, and died the
first winter. There is no record of any wife or children in either
Great Yarmouth or Leiden.
