William Sr.'s will names daughter Mary Williams and son William. William II's will names William III, Charles, Nathan, and Massanello and reserves a share for deceased Jesse's family. William III's 1817 will and later probate study place Allen and Tignal in the next generation. This branch remains visually separate until a documented chain connects it to the later Carter County household.
