Jack Quincy Williams

     Mr. Jack Quincy Williams died at his residence, 223 Sinking Creek Road, 
Johnson City, Tennessee on March 3, 2001 at the age of 79.
     Mr. Williams was the son of George Quincy Williams and Molly Coffey 
Williams.  He was born in Washington County, Virgnia and had lived in
Carter County, Tennessee since 1955.
     His father, George Quincy Williams was the son of Francis Edmond Williams
and Nannie Annie Crumley of Carter County.  Francis was the son of John Quincy
Williams and Elizabeth Haun.  John W. Franklin Williams and Joanna Patton were
the parents of John Quincy and John Williams, father of John W. Franklin 
settled in Carter County in the late 1700's with brothers Mack and Jarrett.
     Jack Williams retired from the Southern Railroad as a conductor and 
brakeman.  His father also worked for the railroad before him.  
     He was a memeber of East Unaka Baptist Church, Johnson City.
     Having known Jack personally, I can tell you that he was full of wit
and charm and could play a piano like no one I have ever heard.  He played
for several well known groups and played at the Grand Ole Opry on several
occasions.
     Jack was preceded in death by his daughter, Anne Williams Bailey and
one brother, Frank T. Williams.
     He is survived by his wife, Willie Baxter Williams; his son, George
A. Williams of Kingsport; a sister Betty Ruth Statzula of Albuqurque, NM;
four grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and several nieces and
nephews.
     Jack is to be buried March 6, 2001 at the Happy Valley Cemetery,

home place.
