The areas where the following people lived was part of Edgefield and Barnwell at one time- now partly in Aiken SC. I found the W.W. Williams graveyard in Aiken winter colony with old graves of mostly dead children. There is a grave of a Confederate soldier as well. He fell in the battle of Aiken and was nursed by the W. J. Williams' family (John Williams) who was a son of William White Williams. (Capt W.W. Williams)

Capt. W.W. Williams (William White Williams born 1787 died March 26, 1845) had the oldest house in the newly founded Aiken, Barnwell Co., SC. and lived on what became South Boundry Ave. His family's graveyard is on what is now Magnolia Lane. He was instrumental, along with Andrew Dexter and Cyril Ouviere Pascalis in founding Aiken SC.

I ran across the following Capt. W.W.Williams (William White Williams) family graveyard on the former Chinaberry plantation in old Aiken SC which had been part of Old 96th SC, later Barnwell Co and finally in the newly formed Aiken Co today. He and Cyril Ouviere Pascalis (whose mother Elizabeth Pascalis bought land in Montmorenci when Aiken was founded) were instrumental in getting the RR to come to Aiken from Charleston.
- 1863 – Elizabeth Pascalis willed Pascalina the plantation to her granddaughter, Theodosia Wade, and her husband John C. Wade.
- 1865 – Hugh Judson Kilpatrick, a Union general, used the plantation house Pascalina as headquarters during the Battle of Aiken.
- 1865 - Confederate General Joseph Wheeler took his position in the town of Aiken at W.W. Williams plantation house Chinaberry to oppose Sherman’s raid and put an end to the Union advance westward. It was one of Sherman’s rare defeats along the way.
William W. Williams born ca 1787 died March 26, 1845 in what was originally part of Barnwell County which became Aiken SC in 1871. Here is a mention of his grandson of the same name-
PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEETINGS HELD IN ELLENTON AND AIKEN BY THE WHITE AND COLORED CITIZENS, IN THE INTERESTS OF PEACE.
From an Occasional Correspondent. August 4, 1877, Wednesday Page 2, 667 words
Though the meetings herein spoken of took place some weeks ago, they have not yet been publicly noticed at any length. The first of these massmeetings was held on the 11th ult., at Ellentown, and was composed equally of white and colored citizens. Major James E. Crossland presided, and W. W.Williams, Esq., was Secretary.
W.W. Williams Esq. was the grandson of Captain W.W. Williams who was instrumental in getting the RR to come to Aiken. Were they related ? to the Williams family of White Ponds, now in southeastern Aiken Co which ran between the southern RR and HIWAY 78. John Williams and brother Ben lived there. At the beginning White Ponds was in Edgefield District. THE MOSELEYS AND MCCREARYS ALSO WERE AT WHITE PONDS.
When Aiken was founded in 1835, there were a few stores, the C.O. Pascalis house which he was building and the Alfred Dexter cottage (engineers for the RR) and the W.W. Williams plantation near South Boundry Ave.. the oldest home in Aiken. Capt. Williams and the mother of C.O.Pascalis (Elizabeth) both attended St Thaddeus church after it was founded in 1842. Capt Williams died in 1845.
Also in reference to this Williams family in Barnwell:
90 YEARS IN AIKEN COUNTY by G. L. Toole
John and Ben Williams and three Owens brothers traveled together down from North Carolina to Barnwell County (before Aiken County was established) in 1820. And later it was the graves of the sons of one of these pioneers of White Pond (John Williams' sons) that suffered excavation due to the belief that silver had been stored beneath the markers instead of two Rebel soldiers, when Sherman's Army marched through that section.
This must be Benjamin Williams- he would have been 35 when he got to White Ponds:

"Some Experiences During Skirmish at Aiken,"
by John Staubes. I entered service in 1864 at the age of 16, and joined Capt. Percival’s Company. This Company was made up of boys and old men of the town. Wheeler’s cavalry came into Aiken on the afternoon of Feb. 10, and on the 11th the skirmish took place. That night I was ordered to leave our camp at Croft’s Mill, but after the arrival of Wheeler’s cavalry, I went to our 1st Lt., Chas. Benson, and asked permission to visit my home, but was refused. A few minutes later, he wanted a guide to come in with Sergeant Chas. Wood, so I went with him to his home, then visited my family who lived near Coker Spring. Next morning I came back into town, and was sent to Capt. Percival for instructions to carry a message to camp. I was kept at Percival’s home until Wheeler and a number of other men went to look over the town. We were then kept on Park Ave., the Brunson & Gillam corner, for a short time, then went Main St. and remained there until the skirmish began. Then Capt. Percival called me to go as a pilot to the John Williams’ place. Col. Coon, who commanded the 2nd Tenn. Regt. wanted to get some information about the different roads around the town. The Yankees came in about as far as W. W. Williams’ home (John's father) when they were turned back. The only surviving members of our Company are: R. W. McCreary, Joe Taylor, Chas. Randall, Chas. Galloway, and John Staubes. I cannot recall all of our Company, but among them were: Capt. Percival, Lt. Chas. Benson, Sergeant Chas. Wood, Wilson Prothro, Doc. Prothro, John Moseley and Jim Moseley.

One of the Williams lines who were very early in Saluda Edgefield Barnwell:
John Williams family.

Daniel (b. 1710), V. Nathaniel (b. 1712), VI. Elizabeth (b. 1714), VII. Sarah W. (b. 1716), VIII. Joseph, (b. 1721).
One of his known children was a Daniel Williams, 9/28/1710 - 12/1759 who married Ursula Henderson, daughter of Thomas Henderson and his first wife, Ursula Keeling. Thomas Williams and Ursula Henderson married 10/19/1732 Their children John and James married first cousins so that John and James were also in-laws to each other and had the same grandchildren.

In 1772 James moved his family to the Little River area in Laurens County, SC., employing himself as a farmer, miller and merchant. He must have brought his mother-in-law with him because the mother-in-law to James is buried in the Williams/Nance Graveyard and is reported as died 1790. James served as one of the representatives of SC in the First Provincial Congress in Charleston 1/11/1775. Also, he represented in the Second Provincial Congress 11/1/1775 and 3/26/1776.
