In the Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Wolfe City, Hunt, Texas, there is a tombstone for M. A. H. Williams. I believe this is Minerva's tombstone. The dates match and a tombstone inscribed with J. W. lies next to hers'.

Mrs. Minerva Ann Burnett Williams was born in Bedford county, Tenn. January 26, 1830. At the age of about 15 her father, Mr. J. B. Burnett, moved to Texas, stopping in Lamar Co. on the Red River. During a few years residence at his home about a mile north of what then was Pee Dee Camp ground, was Minerva married to Jonas W. Williams, on May 20th, 1848.
A few months later, Mr. and Mrs. Williams moved to Hunt County, and settled on Jones Creek about 2½ miles west of Wolfe City, and have resided there until the death of both her husband having preceded her to his final home about twenty one years. Mrs. Williams remained on the homestead until August 29th, 1905, when she moved to the home of her Daughter, Mrs. J. E. James in Wolfe City, where she lingered with a wasting disease for three months, when, among a throng of anxious relatives and friends, she peacefully passed to her final reward on Nov. 29th at 2 o'clock a.m. She bore her affliction with unusual patience, and during the latter part of her illness she talked beautifully of her home beyond, earnestly requesting her children to observe the good traits in people and overlook the bad and live faithfull Christians and meet her in heaven.
She professed Christianity in her childhood and joined the Free Will Baptist Church. After coming to Texas, there being no church of her faith covenient, she did not officiate with any church, as a member, until about 1890, when she joined the M. E. Church, South. Her life was an exemplary Christian life from her youth until death.
In her domestic life she was consistent and resigned in her firmness, yielding a constraining influence that called forth the highest respect and strongest affections of her children.
She was the mother of ten children, five of whom survive her. The surviving children are J. B. Williams, the eldest child, B. Z. Williams, L. R. Williams, Mrs. W. H. Stone, and Mrs. J. E. James, all of whom live in the community in which she spent her life. Her living descendants are five children, twenty one grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Eleven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren are dead.
There has never been a time during the long period which she lived in this community that all of her children could not have been summoned to her home within two hours time.
She was among the earliest settlers of this country, and has lived about fifty-eight years on the homestead, where she has been known by many who still live and many who have gone on before to await her coming.
She is gone from the walks of men, but her hallowed influence still lives here, while she lives in a brighter, fairer land where, by the grace of God we may strike hands with her some sweet day on the sunny banks of sweet deliverance, if we will follow her advice and be faithfull.

Harrison Co., Virginia is now in West Virginia.
Jonas & Minerva had five other children that what is listed that died in infancy.
In the Article written by Donna Brown in 'The History of Wolfe City, Texas', She states that Jonas and Minerva had ten children, but she only list nine children by name. I do not have any information on a tenth child.
In the Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Wolfe City, Hunt, Texas, there is a tombstone for J.W. Williams. I believe this is the tombstone of Jonas. The dates match and J. W.'s wife, M.A.H. (Minerva Ann H.) Williams lies next to him.

General Notes: Child - John Burnette "J. B." Williams
Other than the children listed, John and Vickie had three other children who died in infancy.
Obituary - copies can be obtained from Charlie Vines
After an extended illness covering a period of about two years, J. B. Williams died at his home in Wolfe City on Monday, September 16th, at 5 o'clock. For two months he had been confined to his bed and during this time he endured much intense suffering. He was a most and hopeful sufferer and seemed determined to live in spite of the grapple of the death angle, but this messenger finally subdued him and seperated spirit and body.
He was born in the year of 1850 at his father's home two miles west of town and grew up to manhood there. He passed through the civil war as a boy and had much experience incident to that period of time in this sparsely settled section.
When young he married Miss Lou Garrett, who lived but a few months, leaving a baby girl, who is now Mrs. Milton Webb. Later he married Miss Victoria Hutson, and to this union were born seven children, four of whom are living. These are Mrs. Claude Vaden, of Wolfe City, Hiram D. Williams of Aberfoyle, Mrs. Webb Wilson, near town, and Paul Williams who is at home with his mother.
J. B. Williams had many good virtues in the make up of his character. He professed Christianity about twenty years ago and was faithful to the end. A friend asked him a short time before he died if all was well with him and his God and his reply was, "Yes, I am sure ready to go". He was a member of the Masonic order, to which he was devoted, never missing a meeting when able to attend. He lived and dealt with his fellow man on the great principles of honesty and justice. He was a kind and loving husband and father and a faithful friend. A good man has left the walks of men and those who have known him will miss him. The home will have a vacant chair, the church will have a vacant pew, the Masonic Hall a vacant seat, and the hearts of his loved ones will feel the pang of an aching void.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. B. Davidson, his pastor, at the Methodist Church, and was attended by a large congregation of relatives and friends. He was laid away in Mount Carmel cemetery amid a profusion of beautiful flowers. Though he is gone and we shall see him no more, Till we meet on the banks of the evergreen shore, Still in the memory his noble virtues will live, And to loved ones and friends much comfort will give.
