Richard H. Williams (New York politician)
Richard H. Williams (born August 3, 1807 in Aurora, Cayuga County, New York) was an American politician from New York.
He was the son of Richard Montgomery Williams (1776–1837) and Amy (Hart) Williams (1779–1862). On October 23, 1834, he married Phebe Ryder, and they had five children. He was Postmaster of Middlesex, New York and later of Potter, New York, until 1842.
He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Yates Co.) in 1843; and of the New York State Senate (7th D.) in 1846 and 1847.
In 1863, he removed to New York City.
Personal life
He married Phebe Ryder of Sing Sing in 1834, with whom he had several children. She survived him, dying a widow in 1897.[1]

gollark: That sounds like something which would improve* and not worsen** the situation.
gollark: You could do it both ways I guess, perhaps with a switch.

gollark: > it seems like you're talking more about an API?Yes, I think the ability to do that might be more useful to (some) external services than having UI in Athens itself.> Dokuwiki does seem interesting thoughIt's a pretty good selfhosted wiki engine. It doesn't have knowledge-graph-y features because it was mostly made before that became a topic of interest, but does have... search, links, somewhat okay formatting, and many plugins. I currently run an instance because it seemed the best available stable thing when I was setting up things and it is quite hard to migrate now.
