POA From Canton, China
The deed abstracts below are from a book of Early land transfers, Detroit and Wayne County, Michigan. William Williams of Utica, Oneida Co., New York, a printer, had property in Wayne Co., Michigan that was dispersed to his heirs.
Robert S. Williams, one of the heirs, also acted as Power of Attorney (POA) for his brothers, S. Wells Williams and John P. Williams, because they lived in Canton, China. John P. Williams was a victim of the poison bread incident of January 15, 1857, in China, and died as a result.
There is a Wikipedia entry for Samuel Wells Williams (1812 - 1884), who was born in Utica, New York, and who lived in Canton, China. He first sailed for China while in his twenties and served as an interpreter for Commodore Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853. In 1860 he (S. Wells Williams) was appointed charge d'affaires for the United States in Beijing, China. He was also the President of the American Bible Society from 1881 to 1884.
