Notes:

birth date might be wrong

His will is found in Will Book #2 page 244, Charlotte County VA 1803

Source: Sledge
--
Sledge says his parents were Joseph Williams and Henrietta Jouett. This is wrong, though. Joseph and Henrietta probably didn't have a son Thomas.
--
He was a Captain in the Revolutionary War
--
He may be a son of Robert Williams + Margery Martin.
That Robert Williams d 1769-04-10 Charlotte Co VA. He also sold land to a Thomas Williams on 1762-12-07. On one land record Robert mentions his son Thomas.

from Ancestry.com mail-list:
Thomas Williams wrote his will 20 April 1803, and it was recorded 6 June 1803 [Charlotte Co. Va WB2, part 2, p244]. Thomas names wife Frances - sons Robert, Jeremiah, Matthew, MASTIN; daughters Molly SHELTON Nancy COLLINS, Betsy COLLIER, Peggy WILLIAMS, Sally HUTCHERSON. Exrs were sons Jeremiah and Robert WILLIAMS.
--
marriage date might be 1773
--
This RootsWeb entry gives his birthdate as 1730-10-21 or 1742. Since Joseph Williams who married Henrietta Jouett was born 1720, the 1730 date is not believable. But if this Thomas is actually a son of Robert, 1730 might be right. It looks like there are two Thomas Williamses that are mixed up.

census records for VA for 1790 and 1800 are missing
