Archie P. Williams as a mixed race person had a very unique integration and support by the white planter elite in antebellum Natchez MS made the continuation of the holdings possible through the ethnic churning of the family lineage.

A.P. Williams Welsh father David P. Williams was very active in his support of Archie. This includes, among other things a 1859 deed between himself and Archie P. Williams that recognized his status as son, heir and transfer of land, timber, slaves and other holdings. D.P. Williams recognition of Archie as a planter along with the support of other members of the family allowed his continued power and ability to pass this heritage down to his descendants. The white planter elite of Natchez MS were all interconnected through biology and marriage as well as business. The Williams were connected to the Surgets, Minor, Duncan, Bingaman, Sargent among other millionaire families at the time who held the political, economic and social power. Various records show the support the broader family had which was extremely unique and allowed Archie to have a very rare position. This was the catalyst for the continuation of business, social and political holdings to the continuation in the Anton Williams Holding Company.
