Charles d: 16 Feb 1839, leaving two children of which Mary Hill was the only one named (Ref: D-178, U-40, P-3850, and National Genealogical Socy Quarterly, Vol. 34, No. 2 (1946), p.70). This latter source stated “This pensioner is the only one of the name in the MD troops as found in the Rev.

There was also a Charles Williams in Calvert Co who made a request to the Gov of MD for bounty money on 1 Jun 1779, but the nature of his request was not specified (Ref: V-226).10285
