Fourth Generation


41. Richard Junior "Dick" WILLIAMS was born on 16 January 1932 in Monroe County, WI.23,40,52,86 (His mother had named him "Dickie" but he didn't like that name and he changed it when he joined the Army. He needed a birth certificate at the time of his enlistment, but he didn't have one, so his mother went with him to attest to his birth.

When they asked him for his name, he told them "Richard Williams, Jr." (no middle name), thinking that he would name himself after his father. However, he found out many years later that his father's name was not Richard, but Elijah Newton. When his dad was a child, he liked "Dick's Cough Syrup," so his family called him "Dick."

When the military prepared a birth certificate for Richard, they recorded him as "Richard Junior Williams.")
