William Williams would replace Oliver Wolcott in the Continental Congress. He arrived too late to vote for independence but he did sign the Declaration. Williams support for independence was personal, having donated his own money for military activities. He went house to house soliciting private donations to supply the army. Frequently, Williams gave speeches for enlistment to the cause of independence. He gave his house up for officers to stay during the winter of 1781.
