The youngest child of Matthew and Abigail (nee Nutman) Williams, Thomas Williams served as captain of the 2nd Essex County Regiment during the Revolutionary War. Married to the former Dorcas Harrison, who predeceased him in 1806, the long-lived veteran died in his 90th year, and thus lived to see the triumph of both the cause he fought for, as well as the United States' victory over Great Britain in the War of 1812. Although a life-long, staunch American patriot, he harbored no ill will towards his Loyalist relatives.
An enterprising man, Captain Williams' post-war business activities included the acquisition of a sloop he named the "Orange".
His name is listed on the D.A.R. Monument in the churchyard of the First Presbyterian Church of Orange which honors Revolutionary War veterans buried there. This memorial, which consists of a bronze plaque affixed to a large rock, was dedicated in 1931.
