Esther and Thomas Williams of Deerfield, Massachusetts, had 7 living children. All are named in the will, the 3 daughters' money to be given to them over time, probably already having gotten their share when Dr. Williams died 25 years earlier. The silver tankard mentioned in the will, made by Boston silversmith, Jeremiah Dummer and given to Stephen West Williams, son of William, her son, can still be seen in Deerfield.
