Williams, Samuel 1743-1817
23 April 1743 - 2 January 1817
Son of the Reverend Wareham Williams and Abigail (Leonard) Williams of Waltham, MA, Samuel Williams, graduated from Harvard College in 1761. He traveled with Harvard's Professor John Winthrop to Newfoundland in 1761 to observe the transit of Venus. He was the author of several papers in physical science. Williams became minister at Bradford, MA, in 1765, and in 1768 married Jane Kilbourn who bore him five children. During his time in Bradford he taught science to Benjamin Thompson, the future Count Rumford. In 1780, Williams accepted Harvard's offer of the Hollis Professorship of Natural and Experimental Philosophy. Also in 1780, he helped found the Amerian Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston, and participated in an expedition to Penobscot, with the permission of the occupying British forces, to observe an eclipse of the sun. Williams was known for his showy and extravagent way of life, and in 1788 he was indicted for forgery. He escaped to Rutland, Vermont. There he served as minister of the First Church, until his decision to leave the ministtry in 1794, after which he engaged in newspaper editing and publishing. His promotion of a university for the new state led to the establishment of the University of Vermont. He was employed by the State to resurvey its northern boundary. Sibley
