Anton Robert Williams is the 9th generation business owner and heir from David Williams who migrated to the U.S. in the 1760s. David Williams became one of the wealthiest persons in the U.S. via owning over 11,000 acres of real estate, timberland, corn and cotton fields within several U.S. states worth a value in current dollars of over $500 million. He established residences in Natchez MS and Baton Rouge LA from which several branches of his descendants continue to part or full time residences. 

As the David Williams of Natchez line continued to succeed through 9 generations additional properties were acquired up to over 1 million acres nationwide and new business operations were established.
