Sir William Williams, 6th Baronet

Sir William Williams, 6th Baronet (c. 1668 – 23 December 1696)[1] was a Welsh politician. He was the Member of Parliament for Caernarvonshire from 1689 until his death.[1] He was one of the Williams baronets.[2]

Ignoring the claims of an impostor, Arthur Owen, who claimed to be a relation, Williams left his Vaynol estate to the descendants of his friend, late Sir Bourchier Wrey, 4th Baronet.[3]
