Everything About Crab Island
Our roots run deep in the red clay of Alabama.
John Williams
John Williams father was Canadian and his mother was from Alabama. He left Canada in 1867 for Alabama. Because of his upbringing in Canada, he was not bound by the cultural norms of the Reconstruction Era of the Deep South.
Hester Ann Hill
Hester Ann Hill married John Williams in 1884. Interracial marriages were illegal at that time. John lived his life as a Black man to circumvent this law. They had seven children.
Obie Williams
Obie was the granddaughter of John and Hester Williams. Was born in Town Creek, AL. She married the love of her life, Matt Scruggs Senior, in 1937. They built a home on the Scruggs Family Farm and led an agrarian life. They had 14 children.
