Présentation de l'éditeur
Colonel Ephraim Williams, founder of the college, biographic materials are few and meagre. The vital records of his native town, the will of his grandfather, and an unsigned Sketch in the eighth volume of the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society seem to be the only available sources of information. It appears that A pril i, 1713, Ephraim Williams, Senior, of Newton, married Elizabeth, daughter of A braham Jackson, a substantial and reputable townsman, and that their eldest son, Ephraim, Junior, was born March 7, 1715, or, by old style, February 24, 1714. On the I2th of A pril, 1718, and a few days after the birth of a second son, Thomas, Elizabeth Williams died, and her two children were practically adopted by their grandfather.
