Henry married Ida Virginia Chambers on 23 Dec 1899 in Sabine County, Texas. Ida (daughter of Rev. John D. "Jack" Chambers and Mary E. "Mollie" Reeves) was born on 15 Sep 1883 in Texas; died on 5 Sep 1961 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in New Hope Cemetery, Milam, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

(Research):At the time of the 1910 census, Ida Chambers Williams indicated she was the mother of 5 children in total, only four of whom were still living. Based on this response, and that fact that these were the only adult Williams buried at New Hope near Jack A. Williams, it is assumed he is the child of Ida's that died young.
