In 1640. Mary Williams, widow of Thomas1 lived north side of the plains; a memorial of her by Clement Willets says, "she was a worthy woman and justly deserves our grateful remembrance, to me she was like a mother -- and not to me only, but to many of
her poor neighbors also, who felt the benefit of her bountiful hand. She was very careful not to let her left hand know what her right hand did."

The original deed from the Indians to Robert Williams for the Plains in Oysterbay, was executed on the 20 of May, 1648.

Robert appears to have resided a part of the time in Hempstead, was living there in 1659. The Indian Deed for Oysterbay was executed in 1653 to Robert Williams and others, he was one of the patentees of Dosori's, O. B. in 1668. Some accounts say that he was born in Wales, and was a brother of Richard Williams, of Huntington, and a near relative of Roger Williams, of R. I., all of which may be true; I have not seen any of it verified, suffice it he was our Ancestor, and disposed of 1-3 of his property in Jericho to his wife's sister, Mary (Washburne), widow of Richard Willets; in 1667 -- thus paving the way for many pleasant Ancestral homes in that vicinity.
