Children: Amanda Caroline, Elizabeth Hazeltine, and Sallie Lavonia.

Children proved by family Bible and Will: Amanda Caroline, Elizabeth Hazeltine, Sallie Lavonia. There are NO other children. The Robert C. found in Headsprings, used by other trees, is incorrect as a descendant of Robert and Julia. There is NO proof of this connection. The Robert used as child is actually another Robert in the Belfast area.

**

The home of Robert WILLIAMS in Belfast (Old Fisher's Road) is still standing and has remained in family - Sarah "Kip" ORR owner is Robert Williams gggrandaughter.

Robert Williams played an important part in the early settlement of Lewisburg and Belfast. He was largely instrumental in having the N.&C. Railroad run a branch line from Aschid through Fayetteville, Belfast, Lewisburg and Columbia.

He went to the Mexican War in troops from Marshall County, Lewisburg, and Connersville. He was Captain of Co. C 17th Regiment, June 11, 1861. He succeeded his father in the management of the store in Belfast in 1838.

**UPDATE** Sarah ORR passed away May 2019. Home, land, and ALL items (pictures, documents, furniture, etc...) were all auctioned off to the public October 2019. Items in home dated back to early pioneer TN, Marshall County history as well as WILLIAMS family history. ALL items, including the house and land were sold to the highest bidders.
**UPDATE** Have located the buyer who is presently selling WILLIAMS items via EBAY. Trying to collect some of the letters that mention family info.
