Rev. Williams was a Presbyterian minister.
He was an 1823 graduate of Dickinson College in Pennsylvania and an 1826 graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary in New Jersey. He was ordained for ministry on December 9, 1828. He was the pastor for congregations in New York, Alabama, and Illinois in the years 1828 to 1848. During the years 1849-1856, he was the Principal at a school for females in Keokuk, Iowa (it was called the Female Seminary). Then he did Presbyterian mission work (1858-1864), after which he pastored congregations in Illinois and then in North Carolina. One of his Iowa colleagues wrote of William that he rode the length and breadth of Iowa on horseback, with overcoat and umbrella tied behind his saddle. His tastes were those of a teacher. His preaching was adapted to reach the young. (That would be during his mission work years in Iowa.)
