The papers of Israel Williams of Hatfield, Massachusetts contain materials
related to his career as a soldier and commander of a Hampshire County regiment
responsible for the defense of western Massachusetts during King George's and
the French and Indian Wars, in particular correspondence, orders, lists of
soldiers, muster rolls, and other military papers. Massachusetts civic and
political issues are also represented heavily in the collection as
documentation of Williams's role as a selectman in Hatfield, a state
legislator, a Hampshire County judge, and as a member of the Governor's Council
from 1761-1767.
The collection also includes military papers of Israel's cousin, Ephraim
Williams, while in command of forts and posts along the Mass. and N.Y. border,
including muster rolls; papers related to the founding of a free school (later
Williams College) in Williamstown, Massachusetts as a result of his will, for
which Israel was executor; and papers related to Israel's loyalty to Thomas
Hutchinson and Loyalist actions prior to and during the Revolution.
Places documented include Hampshire County, Mass., Fort Massachusetts
(Mass.), and Fort William Henry (N.Y.). Correspondents include William Shirley,
Oliver Partridge, John Worthington, Spencer Phips, Thomas Hutchinson, Andrew
Oliver, Joseph Hawley, Thomas Pownall, and William Williams, Israel's nephew.
Below is a list of the contents of the Israel Williams papers transcribed
directly from the handwritten list included in the collection. The list has
been revised to follow a more strict chronological arrangement. Page numbers
reflecting a former arrangement in bound volumes have been eliminated. Users
should be advised that the order of the materials on the microfilm edition does
not follow an exact chronological arrangement and they may have to do some
searching within a small area to find the document they are looking for. Also,
undated materials may not be in the order they are listed. The original
handwritten index remains with the collection and at the end of the microfilm
edition. Volume and page locations on the cards for individually cataloged
items should be disregarded.
Gift of John Wiliams, Oct. 1837.
