Williams Family.

Hide Profile

Alfred Williams and his brother, Benjamin O. Williams, were the first white settlers to visit and eventually settle in Shiawassee County, Michigan. They operated a trading post at the Indian village of Ketshewaudagoning prior to founding the village of Owosso in 1837. In 1885, the block between Washington and Main Streets was destroyed by a fire.
