Douglass Williams was "of New Hartford" when married; they lived in the Pleasant Valley section of Barkhamsted, Connecticut. "In 1851 Eben woodruff sold house and four acres to Douglass Williams; in 1854 the house was sold to Orville & Rhoda Jones; in 1890 sold to George Palmer; in 1900 destroyed by fire." "In 1844 Orville Joens deeds half of 'Proprietor's Mill' to Douglass Williams." "In 1844 Orville Jones sells 82 acre farm and 1/12 interest in sawmill to Douglass Williams of New Hartford." Those quotes from "Barkhamsted Heritage". ⁴

Copied from "Southington Phoenix", April 22, 1881:

Mr. Douglass Williams died very suddenly Tuesday afternoon. He was out riding during the day and had been on the street that afternoon feeling quite well. He went home and sat down, complaining of feeling badly and died almost immediately. Mr. Williams was a man much respected in this community and his sudden death was a shock to all, although his ill health for some time past made it apparent that he could not live very long; but none expected the death angel would come so soon. He probably died of heart disease. The funeral will be Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Baptist church.

Mr. Thorpe has been out of health for the past three years, though he was confined to the bed but a few days before his death. He has lived in the family of J. Henry Merrill and his mother for over 24 years and it was there, in the old Roswell Marsh place, that he died. He leaves a little property and a considerable collection of Indian relics. He was never married. He was buried Monday at 2 o'clock on Town Hill by the side of his father and mother.

Copied from the New Hartford Tribune November 18, 1887

The auction sale of the effects of the late William Thorp, at the house of Miss Catherine Merrill on West Hill, drew out quite a large and interesting crowd of bidders. The Indian relics, consisting of arrow and spear heads, tomahawks, pistols etc. were an interesting feature and their possession was hotly contested for by different bidders. William Thorp was born on 21 July 1821. He was the son of Addison Thorp and Susan Holcombe. William Thorp died on 14 August 1887 at Dysentry; Old Roswell Marsh Place, New Hartford, Litchfield Co., CT, at age 66.
