Notes:
* John Daniel Williams served in the Second Seminole Indian War from 1837 until his discharge in 1840. He served as a Private under Captain Lewis Bailey and Captain William Haddock. He also served in the Confederate Army as a Sergeant in Co. K, 2nd Florida Cavalry. He left his first wife sometime in 1865 and was married in 1868 to Georgia Ann Rewis Anderson (who had previously been married to Malachi Anderson). When John Daniel "Joachim" Williams died both of his wives were by his bedside. He died from skin cancer. He was buried by the Saint Marys River in what is now the Osceola National Forest in Baker county, Florida. His grave is marked and a fence is around the graveyard to protect the property.
