  Notes	John WILLIAMS was born at the farm of Dunveth in the Parish of St Breock near Wadebridge in Cornwall. He was the eldest son and took the farm over from his father. John was a man of sterling honour, scorning to do a mean action, and having small condonance for those who did. His wide knowledge of the law made him much resorted to by his perplexed and troubled neighbours; and ever was his expert advice most willingly and helpfully given. He was a churchman of broad and liberal views, and was his Rector's Churchwarden for a long term of years; and for as long, or longer, was a member of the St Coulomb Board of Guardians. He was one of the original members of the United School Board of St Breock and Egloshayle. He died at home where he and all his brothers and sisters were born, Dunveth. A man always looked up to and highly esteemed by all who knew him. His Tombstone: " John Williams of Dunveth in this Parish died 18th June 1889 aged 72. Also Emma his widow died 24th june 1896 aged 75 years" Headstone made by Cleave, Wadebridge, Stonemason.
