The mixed Indian-white descendant of Indian captive Eunice Williams of Deerfield, Mass., Williams was appointed a lay reader and catechist by Episcopal bishop John Henry Hobart and began work among the Oneida following the War of 1812. He was instrumental in arranging the tribe's acquisition of Menominee and Winnebago lands near Green Bay and moved there in 1823. Williams taught school and preached until the early 1830's when he was repudiated by the Oneida. Later claiming to be the lost Dauphin of France, he spent his remaining impoverished years in New York as a minister to the St. Regis Indians.
