John Wilson Williams

John Wilson Williams (1809-1864) lived here from 1844 to 1857 at what was originally number 11, and is currently number 17 Hadassah Grove. John Wilson Williams, Timber Merchant, conceived and created Hadassah Grove in the 1840s on farm land that he purchased from the executors of the estate of John Gibbons (died 1842), Corn Merchant. John Wilson Williams married Sophia Hadassah Williams (1810-1849) née Diggles in 1831 and subsequently named this road after her.
