I'm not sure Williams became "something else" even though after less than a year in Providence he withdrew from Baptist membership and self-identification. My belief is he called himself a "Seeker" or something along those lines, but I don't think he meant it as the name of a different group of which he was a member. And my understanding is that in later years when FBC Providence needed pulpit supply, Williams more than once came back in that capacity.
But you're right, invoking the persecution of Screven would make good sense in SBC history terms, but Williams is out of place there.
