There were three persons bearing this name who must be distinguished one from another - (1) Sir Roger Williams (1604? - 1683), founder of the colony of Rhode Island, U.S.A.; he used to be claimed as a Welshman, afterwards as a Cornishman, but now it can be fairly confidently stated that he was the son of a James Williams, ' citizen and merchant taylor of London,' and his wife Alice; (2) Roger Williams, a member of the family of Penrhos, Monmouth (this family bore, later, the surname Addams-Williams - see under Williams, Sir Trevor); and (3) Sir Roger Williams (1540? - 1595), soldier and author; it is with him that this short note will be concerned.
Like his namesake, the second Roger Williams named above, Sir Roger Williams was a member of the family of Penrhos, being the son of Thomas Williams and his wife, Eleanor, daughter of Sir William Vaughan.

For other people named Roger Williams, see Roger Williams (disambiguation).
Sir Roger Williams (1539–1540 – 12 December 1595) was a Welshsoldier of fortune and military theorist, who served the Protestant cause, fighting against the Spanish in several theatres of war. Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester said that as a soldier he was "worth his weight in gold". He was later a close associate of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, and became a national hero because of his exploits fighting the Catholic League. He has been described as "an obstreperous, opinionated Welsh soldier" who was "Essex's devoted confederate and agent".[1]
In his writings on the art of war, Williams was a strong advocate of the modernisation of armies and the exploitation of new military technologies.
Some Shakespeare scholars have suggested that he was the basis for the pugnacious Welsh captain Fluellen in William Shakespeare's Henry V, a character who is also both argumentative and unflinchingly loyal.
