[edit] DOB
Date of birth immediately after his name was listed as 1613, yet the referenced dates immediately below were all between 1599 and 1607. I've changed it to c. 1600. 1613 can't be correct - few people gain B.A.s from Cambridge at the age of fourteen, even in the 17th century. Deadlock 12:43, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Two Articles on the Same Person
Roger Williams (puritan) is the same person as Roger Williams (theologian). Logophile 16:49, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Descendants
Generally, the ancestor ought to be noted in the article about the descendant, and not descendants in the article about the ancestor. The information about Jeffrey R. Holland ought to be moved, as information about Williams, to Holland's article. --Eric Forste (Talk) 02:35, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Roger Williams birthplace and parents
I found a reference that there were 2 Roger Williams at Pembroke College at around the same time. One was a Roger Williams son of Lewis Williams of St Albans and the other was Roger Williams son of William Williams of Cornwall.
The originator of the source is Dr. Rueben Guild the learned Librarian of Brown University, New England (dated 1880).
Dr Guild claims that Roger The Theologian was the son of William Williams of Cornwall, UK. (You spelled Theologian wrong. --LOOKIE MILK! (talk) 01:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC))
The date of the baptism is 21st of December 1602 at Gwinear, Cornwall. [1]

Williams geneology shows he is the son of James and Alice (Pemberton) Williams of London. Wayne 15:27, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dates
The Dictionary of National Biography states that Williams is thought to have been born in 1606, "but no record of the exact date survives". It also states "The exact date of his death was not recorded, though it was between 27 January and 15 March 1683". I am interested, therefore, in what basis there is for exact birth and death dates to be listed here in 1603 and 1684 respectively. -- Necrothesp 16:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
- Good question. The dates were already in the article when I first encountered it, and so I assumed that the original editor had a source for them. No source that I have access to myself has any exact dates for either his birth or death. Logophile 23:29, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No Stub
I removed this article from the category "Christian clergy stubs" as the article is way too long to be considered such now. Whyaduck 01:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welsh?
Wasn't Williams a Welsh man educated in England? --LOOKIE MILK! (talk) 01:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
