While a will could take years to settle an estate a dead man didn't write the will 20 May 1799, he was alive when he states who gets what and then names his executors.
App't my WIFE Susannah EXX and my friend
James Pickett and my son Thomas H. Williams
and Thomas Blewett executors.
Test: Buckner Nance, Nicholas Stone
and Julius Nichols
Edward Williams
Edward Williams b abt 1750/51Susannah Blewett b abt 1758 and Nicholas Stone b abt 1760
It makes no sense at all
Ncholas Stone m Susannah Williams (not Susannah Blewett on marriage record to Nicholas Stone)
19 Apr 1780 Richmond Co NC 19 yrs prior to the will of Col Edward Williams dated 20 May 1799 Richmond Co NC wills, who is clearly married to his wife Susannah when it was written. If she was b ca 1758/60 she would have married age 20/22 to Nicholas Stone and began having his children.
you have she married
1st Edward Williams no date given
2nd Nicholas Stone 19 Apr 1780
4. Susannah2 Blewett (William1), born about 1758, in Blewett Falls, NC, died in NC/TN. She married
(1) Edward Williams Sr COL.
He was the son of Thomas Williams.
Edward Williams Sr COL was born
ABT Mar 1750/1751, died before 20 May 1799, in Richmond County, NC, buried in Richmond County,
NC.
One Susannah Williams (not listed as maiden name of Blewett on marriage record) married (2) Nicholas Stone 19 Apr 1780, in Richmond County, NC.
He was the son of John
Stone and Lucy Clark.
Nicholas Stone was born about 1760, in NC, died 4 Aug 1834, in Robertson Co TN
She would have had to marry Edward Williams prior to 1780 and he would have had a first wife and son Thomas H prior to his marrage to Susannah
So Susannah was having Nicholas Stones 10 children the entire time she was married to Edward Stone and having his 5 children too? at least 3 sons maybe the daughters were from Edwards first wife but that would be a tight fit. This is one solid relationship.
I show her last child with Nicholas born ca 1797 and she is not only in the will of Edward all the way to 1815 still signing her name as Susannah Williams and being defined as a widow
(Old Edward says
Wife Susannah Williams. The tract of land I possess on the Pee Dee River above Blewetts Ferry, DURING HER WIDOWHOOD SHOULD SHE REMARRY the above be divided between my four sons, Thomas, George, William and Edward. Also,to my sd wife during her life the tract of land and plantation whereon I now live then to be sold and the money equally divided between my sd four sons.
AGAIN
Book I, p.135
21 Mar 1814
Whereas COL Edward Williams late of Richmond Co. departed this life and by his last will and testament devised to his wife Susannah relict and WIDOW of sd dec'd a right and title (DURING HER WIDOWHOOD) in and to the lands which he died possessed of on Pee Dee River
evidently Edward was married prior to Miss Susannah because in his will his son Thomas H Williams is listed twice not being the son of Susannah Williamsand indicating that George,William & Edward G are her sons with Edward.
states this
Book I, p.233
21 Oct 1814
I, Thomas H. Williams do hereby give to my STEPMOTHHER
Susannah Williams the relict of my deceased father Edward Williams my proportion of the net proceeds of the sales of two tracts of land lying above Blewetts Ferry in Richmond County and State of NC. In like manner I give to her the terms afsd 1/4of the proceeds of a tract of 100 acres adj the afsd granted to me by the Stateof NC.
State of NC
Richmond County- Oct 21, 1814
Book I, p.135
21 Mar 1814
Whereas COL Edward Williams late of Richmond Co. departed this life and by his last will and testament devised to his wife Susannah relict and widow of sd dec'd a right and title (during her widowhood) in and to the lands which he died possessed of on Pee Dee River, to-wit- one tract known by the name of the Clark tract; another by the name of the Moody tract and the third a patent obtained in the name of Thomas H. Williams, all which was adjacent to each other and lying between Blewetts and Daniel Thomas line-- and at the exporation of the widowhood the lands were to fall in equal proportion and equal interest to his four sons Thomas H., George, William, and Edward-- and whereas the sd
Susannah by deed of relinquishment this day has relinquished all her right devised by said will, to her four sons as follows- Thomas H. Williams (STEPSON), George Williams, William Williams, and Edward G. Williams.
so Nicholas Stone and Edward Williams are sharing one wife? or did Nicholas and Susannah divorce after their last child was born ca 1797 and she married Edward Williams and was the mother of none of his children? because all of the children listed in the will sons and daughters appear to be of legal age as none of them are assigned guardians or said to be given their share once they become of age.
There is also the matter of one Nicholas Stone as witness in the will of Edward Williams
Test: Buckner Nance, Nicholas Stone
and Julius Nichols
Edward Williams
is the same Nicholas Stone husband of Susannah? That is taking sharing a bit too far. Honey I love you so much!
1800 census Richmond Co NC has 11 white people listed which all fit in the age ranges of Nicholas & Susannah's 10 children (Winny b 1781 was married to Henry Covington 10 Dec 1797 so 9 remain in home) and there appears to be a wife in the home age 45 and older so did Nick take another wife or is this Susannah?

Susannah Williams wife of Edward was still signing her name from 1799 to 1815 as Susannah Williams in the estate.
When did the marriage of Susannah Blewett & Edward Williams take place?
I see no evidence they are the same woman in fact all the evidence clearly points the opposite direction and I believe I would argue this in a court of law. Show me the DNA
The Stone/Blewett/Clark/Williams families all intertwine but not at this crossroads.
