John Williams (South Australian politician)
John Williams (1824 – 4 April 1890) was a pastoralist and politician in the colony of South Australia.
==History==
Williams arrived in South Australia in 1839 at the age of 14〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Black Rock )〕 and worked on a farm on the River Para. He purchased property at Black Rock in 1851,〔 which he developed as a sheep run, and with his brother George Sibley Williams (c. 1825 – 20 December 1902) owned a sheep run at Parnaroo, east of Peterborough, with little success, largely due to the rabbit plague. Their partnership was dissolved in 1876.
He was member for Barossa 1864–1865 and for Flinders 1865–1868 and 1875–1878. He retired to his home in North Adelaide. He was not a brilliant debater, and only spoke on subjects with which he was thoroughly conversant.
He made a sizeable fortune through an early investment in the Broken Hill Proprietary Company. He died at his home "Halberstadt", Jeffcott Street, North Adelaide, after a long illness.〔 Mrs. Williams, her daughter Miss Guy and at least one son retired to New Zealand.
