Charles Clark Williams was the son of Nathaniel and Anna Clark Williams.
He married Eliza High Miller in 1820 born 1801 in Westfield, Union, New Jersey, dtr of Ezra and Mary High Miller.
History of Scott County, IA 1882: Charles C. Williams came to Iowa in August 1844 from Newark, Essex, NJ. He was an elder of the First Presbyterian Church of that city, and afterward in the Central Church for many years. He was a man of most ardent
piety, ever ready to lend his aid and influence in promoting the cause of his Redeemer's kingdom. His connection with the church of Davenport when it most needed spiritual aid and encouragement seemed providential. At this time Mr. Hoge, one of the
elders, moved to Galena [IL]. So Mr. Williams and James M. Dalzell were ordained and set apart as elders in this church. His first work, with the help of others, was to establish a Sunday-school, which continued to date, and of which he was
superintendent to the time of his death (Sept 1852)".
He was said to have been a "sweet singer"
He died of cholera in Davenport. Eliza died in Creston, Platte, NE and they are both buried here. They had 10 children: Jane Henderson 1822, Rebecca M 1824, Alexander Fraser 1826, Mary High - wife of Jacob Mullen Eldridge - 1829, Margaret Clark 1831,
Anna Clark 1834, William Belden 1840, Frances W 1849 and a son and dtr dead by 1876 (unnamed).
