WILLIAM TRAIES and MARY nee BOND

of his brother John and are filed against Abraham Wivell whose will dated 12th January 1828 is also at Kew PROB 11/1736.

RETURN TO TENTATIVE FAMILY TREE

JAMES TRAIES and ELIZABETH NICKS

It seems that after James and Elizabeth married, they emigrated to the United States where they had one surviving child, Elizabeth, born
in Baltimore about 1820. James died some time between then and 1843 when his father wrote his will. The details below indicate that his
wife Elizabeth remarried to John Morgan but the record of the marriage has not been found. They appear to have had three girls - the
oldest of whom was born in 1834. It is not clear where James's wife was between 1820 and 1834. A marriage of a John Morgan to an
Elizabeth Williams on 10th June 1833 in Kington Herefordhire (about 7 miles from Hay) may be relevant. If it is our Elizabeth then it
would indicate that between 1820 and 1834 she remarried to a Williams who also died young. Interestingly her daughter Elizabeth married
the artist Frederick Williams.

Sp. Charles Frederick WILLIAMS
Charles Frederick Williams was born in the town of Ottery St Mary in Devon. He showed proficiency in drawing at an early age
and became a pupil of the watercolourist David Cox (1783-1859). Williams became friends with Cox and accompanied him on
sketching tours of North Wales. Williams spent most of his life in the West Country, teaching and producing topographical
scenes. Despite ill-health, Williams worked out of doors and based his art on careful observation and accurate drawing. He
became a respected provincial artist and exhibited at the Royal Academy. The noted Victorian art critic John Ruskin said of
his drawings: ‘They are full of beauty and feeling’. Williams also lived in Southampton, staying in the eastern suburb of
Bitterne for some 25 years. He made many watercolours of local scenes. (Southampton City Art Gallery)
David Cox appears to have been an important artist of his time. For some time he was drawing master at a Miss Crouchers
Girls School in Hereford which is near Hay on Wye.
The gallery has provided brief details of Charles Frederick Williams career:-
- He held an appointment as Drawing Master at Dr Ridgeway's School.
- He appears to have left Exeter in 1845 and moved to London.
- He became a pupil and favourite pupil of David Cox and they were constant companions on sketching tours of North Wales.
- Around 1853 he originated the plan of 'Art Teaching by Correspondence. His letters "were considerably enhanced in value
and interest by the help of his accomplished and devoted wife ..." (no name or date of marriage, death etc. given nor any mention of Elizabeth Traies)
- At some undated date/period he appears to have had a studio at 'The Dolphin' in Beer in Devon which he shared with Mr
Hamish Macallum (1870s and 1880s from dates of his paintings which are often only dated by the decade rather than the year).

1810 b. Ottery St. Mary - father was a musician and held the appointment of Welsh Harper to the Earl of Devon.
His mother died when he was about 6 years old.(Southampton City Art Gallery)

EXAMPLES OF HIS WORK at Southampton City Art Gallery.
The catalogue of the Williams Bequest was dated May 1985 and was written by John Willis Esq. The bequest included 123 of
CFW's works dating from about 1840 to 1887 given to the art gallery by Elizabeth's step sister Lucy Fellows and her husband.
Many of the pictures seem to have been painted in Wales possibly on visits to Elizabeth's step sister's family.
Current works on loan to gallery include a further 42 works on loan from others.
He held an appointment as Drawing Master at Dr Ridgeway's School.
