William Williams (1731-1811) was a prominent lawyer, politician, and judge from Connecticut. He played a key role in the American Revolution and the founding of the United States. Williams was a delegate to the Continental Congress and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Williams was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, on April 8, 1731. He graduated from Harvard College in 1751 and then studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1754 and began practicing law in Lebanon. Williams quickly gained a reputation as a skilled lawyer and a strong advocate for his clients.
Williams became involved in politics in the 1760s. He was elected to the Connecticut General Assembly in 1766 and served as a delegate to the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1778. Williams was a strong supporter of independence from Great Britain. He voted for the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, and was one of the signers of the document.
Williams continued to serve in the Continental Congress after the Declaration of Independence. He was a member of the committee that drafted the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States. Williams also served on the committee that negotiated the Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolutionary War.
After the war, Williams returned to Connecticut and resumed his law practice. He was also elected to the state legislature and served as a judge on the Connecticut Superior Court. Williams died in Lebanon, Connecticut, on August 2, 1811.
