The Nashville Tennessean 1 Oct 1905 announced the marriage of John M. Williams' son, Robert Percy
Williams to Mary Elizabeth Philips, a daughter of Daniel D. Philips. Daniel is a son of William Duncan Philips whose
father is Joseph Philips who lived on Dickerson Pike in Nashville. Two of Joseph Philips' daughters married two of John
M. Williams' uncles.
John M. Williams' brother-in-law was quite the character.
He never married and was a successful business man and loved horse racing. Gambling was a weakness that he overcame,
being able to retire and live in the Maxwell House Hotel in downtown Nashville in his old age.
