Possible ancestry for John Williams http://gen.culpepper.com/ss/p45858.htmThomas(2) Clarke of Isle of Wight was born about 1650-55, and died about 1700. He married about 1670-75Elizabeth, daughter of James Sampson, who was apparently a widow Brown at the time of the marriage, and had ason John Browne, b. 1669. Thomas(2) Clarke was probably the son of Thomas(l) Clarke and Elizabeth Penny,and identical with the grandson Thomas Clarke mentioned in Richard Penny's will. There is some slight doubtabout this identification, as it would mean that Elizabeth Penny must have married Thomas(l) Clarke almostimmediately after 1651, when as "Elizabeth Penny" she was left a bequest by William Jewry, must have borne herson Thomas very shortly, and that Richard Penny must have been a very old man, around 80-85 years old, whenhe died in 1694. However, the assumption seems reasonable. Thomas Clarke and his wife Elizabeth Sampson hadthree children; Sampson, Thomas, and Grace Clarke, who married Robert Reynolds, Jr., of Surry County. Theproof regarding the family of Thomas(2) Clarke and his wife, Elizabeth Sampson, is indirect, but seems to befully confirmed by the following records regarding the Sampson and Barcroft families and their descendants:

(1) Charles Barcroft was the grandfather of Elizabeth (Sampson) Clarke. He was granted 300 acres in Isle ofWight County, Feb. 10, 1637) C. & P., p. 80). On June 17, 1647, Elizabeth Barcroft was granted 1200 acres ofland in Isle of Wight County (id. p. 166). This was Charles Barcroft's daughter, Elizabeth, who married JamesSampson, for her son, James Sampson, Jr., still held this 1200 acres in the Quit Rent Rolls of 1704. Mr. Barcroftclaims land for importing Charles Barcroft for the 4th time, indicating that he made frequent trips to England. Mr.Barcrofts will was dated March 12, 1654, and leaves his property to his son William and wife Magdalen(Chapman I, 3), but he apparently did not die until 1661, for administration on his estate was granted his son-in-law, George Moore, Sept. 23, 1661 (id. , p. 89). George Moore married Jane, daughter of Charles Barcroft, sothat the latter had three children, William, Jane and Elizabeth. The son William apparently died unmarried, as hedisappears from the records. George Moore, who married Jane Barcroft, was usually known as Lieutenant GeorgeMoore, was born in 1632, and died in 1714. From his will and other documents, he had four daughters: (1)Magdalen Moore, who married Thomas Carter and had sons George and Thomas Carter; (2) Eleanor Moore, whomarried Richard Piland. (Richard died in 1695, his will mentioning his wife and 5 children, two of these beingGeorge and Thomas Piland mentioned in George Moore's will and two others probably being James and RichardPiland, who appears in documents in Surry and Isle of Wight in connection with their relatives, the Clarkes,Browns, Wilsons, etc. ); (3) Ann Moore married Thomas White and had issue, Jane, John, Moore Thomas,William and Henry White; and (4) a daughter who married a Williams and had sons Samuel and John Williamsmentioned in George Moore's will (Chapman, Wills, I, 79-80; "Marriages", pp. 9, 41, 54; D. B.1, p.161).
