Samuel Williams was a well-to-do man, leaving an estate valued at close to $10,000 in 1821 dollars. Today, that would be the equivalent of about $220,000.

Samuel and Susannah Ligon Williams have many descendants today, so perhaps this inventory will be of interest to the family genealogists. It is found in WB 7:131-132 in Cumberland County, Virginia.
