History of Trumbull and Mahoning County,
Cleveland: H.Z. Williams & Bro., 1882, Vol I, p. 109
"James Williams, the oldest child of John and Mary Williams, was born in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, November 8, 1809. He was married November 17, 1836, to Miss Almyra Cook. She was born in Columbiana county, August 28, 1818. Their children are as follows: Henry A., married Irene Greathouse, and lives in Oregon; Mary E., the wife of George Bennett, resides in Illinois; Delos E., married Esther Jane Bennett, and resides in Ellsworth; Homer married Mary Brooke, and resides in Canfield; Alice J., married Samuel S. Gault – her home is in Ellsworth; Lewis died at the age of two years. Mr. Williams worked at the trade of a carpenter and joiner for about forty years of his life, but is now retired from active business, having secured a competency sufficient to support himself and wife during the remainder of their days, besides amply providing for all their children. Although Mr. Williams never sought office, his fellow–citizens, have shown their confidence in his integrity by electing him to the office of justice of the peace three times. No better tribute of respect to this worthy couple can be paid than the universally prevalent sentiment of their associates and friends, that their lives have been distinguished by acts of kindness and benevolence toward many a one in need of friends and help."

Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 2 Jan 1880
"Home and County Affairs - A few days ago Mr. Joseph Stafford sold his farm, which is located 1 1/2 miles west of the center of Canfield, and known as the old Shedd farm, consisting of 52 acres of cleared land, for the sum of $3,000.00 cash in hand. James Williams, Sr., of Ellsworth township, was the purchaser. One of his sons will take possession of the farm next spring."
