Biography
George was a Friend (Quaker)
"George Williams, a Welsh Quaker who signed the 1742 petition to divide Prince George's Parish, had no land surveyed or patented in the Frederick County area. He may even have lived a little south of the mouth of the Monocacy River. But he was associating with the Monocacy Quakers when his son Richard Williams was born in the area in 1726. The records of the New Garden Meeting of North Carolina on December 11, 1746 reported the marriage of Richard Williams to Prudence Beals, daughter of John Beals, 'of Monoquosy, Prince George's County in Maryland of Virginia." p. 84. [1]
Research Notes
"He probably settled in this area in 1704 when most of the grants were given. (From the book entitled "Colonial Families of the United States, Volume II" by George Norbury Mackenzie: George Williams, a Welsh Quaker (or Friend), arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a train of Quakers about the year 1690, and shortly afterwards settled in Prince George's (now Frederick) Co., Maryland, and died at Monocacy Creek, in that county, leaving a son, Richard Williams.) " [2]
"Richard Williams, who arrived in 1632, at the age of 16 years is possibly the father of George Williams, the father of Richard Williams who married Prudence Beales in Maryland. George Williams, the son of an immigrant from Wales was residing with a group of Society of Friends (aka Quakers) in 1690 in Pennsylvania and then migrated to Monacacy, in Prince George County, Maryland. The Minutes of Fairfax (Virginia) Monthly Meeting, recorded the marriage of Richard Williams and Prudence Beals, on October 11, 1746, at Monacacy, in Maryland, just across the Virginia line. The minutes state that Richard was the son of George Williams. Coldspring, or Monocacy Meeting (gathering of Quakers) was at that time within the jurisdiction of the Monthly Meeting of Fairfax, Loudoun County, Virginia. About five miles from Monocacy (in modern-day Frederick County) is the town of Bealesville, probably founded by the family of Prudence Beales." [3]

If you do the math "Richard Williams, who arrived in 1632, at the age of 16 years" makes him born about 1616. This George Williams is said to be born about 1701. That would make Richard about 85 when this George was born.
Some of the rest of the timeline from the biography is also a bit mixed up: 1690 "George Williams, a Welsh Quaker ... train of Quakers ... shortly afterwards settled in Prince George's ... Maryland" 1701 Born about 1704 "settled in this area ... when most of the grants were given"
