When he determined to put some of these tales some of his family history in written form Samuel Williams used as his sources his own good memory several biographical and genealogical works and a few fragments he possessed of his father's autobiography. He arranged the material around certain members of his family: his grandfather Williams his parents his brothers and sisters and his daughter Clara.
