Their father, Thomas Terry Williams remarried in 1834 to an older woman named Agnes Womack and then was killed by a slave on April 13, 1835. The loyal slaves threw his killer into a bonfire where they were burning brush at the time.The step mother disappeared from family history and they were raised and educated by their grandparents who were well to do plantation owners. Another brother, William D. Williams died in 1838 at age 14.

He was a son of Thomas Terry Williams and Betsy Carter Williams. Left an orphan at the age of seven and reared by his grandmother. He was educated in the schools of Pittsylvania County and began business life as a general merchant at Brook Neal, Campbell County. At the age of twenty-six he removed to Richmond and established himself as a commission merchant, and by his fair dealing, pleasing address and good tact, soon became successful and prosperous. In 1861 he became a member of the banking firm of Williams, Peters and Company of Richmond. In 1863 he became sole proprietor of the banking house. Being devoted to the interests of the Confederate States, he helped both the men and the cause in many ways. He served in the troops defending Richmond and did his full share in that service. His office and his home were placed at the disposal of the sick and wounded soldiers. Soon after the evacuation of Richmond he went abroad to recuperate his health and upon his return in 1866, he resumed business as a commission merchant with varying success. His extraordinary mental and physical exertions to retrieve his fortunes again interfered with his health, and in 1870 he disposed of the business. In 1872, he became a member of the firm of Williams, Johnson and Company, and established the Manufacturers' Tobacco Exchange, with which he was actively identified at the time of his death.
