The first mention of Isaac Williams in Salem town records is dated July 7, 1659. At a meeting of the selectmen he and Henry Skerry were chosen to seal the weights. He would then be about thirty years old since according to the list of Early settlers of Essex and Old Norfolk he was aged 36 in 1665. That he belonged to the second generation of a Williams family of New England seems probable. The name was not an uncommon one in the Massachusetts Bay region in the early years. He is called Constable October 15, 1664, in a Quarterly Court record.

His wife's name was Margery and in all probability she was the daughter of Henry and Ann Collins, aged two when brought to New England in 1635 with her brothers, Henry aged 5 and John aged 3.

The birth of a daughter, Elizabeth Williams, August 23, 1660, is the earliest of their family records in Salem, followed by the birth of Isaac, December 20, 1662. Sarah and Deborah were both baptized the 5th of June 1664, but that they were older than Elizabeth is shown not only from the order of their listing in their father's will but from the date of the marriage of Deborah to Joseph Gray, August 10, 1675, eleven years after her baptism. It would appear that these two daughters had been born before the family settled in Salem. Five children (Benjamin, two Jonathans, John and one unnamed) all older than Ebenezer (who was baptized in December 1674) doubtless died young since their names do not appear in their father's will.
