The mention of Sarah Williamson
brought to mind a page I saw in a stack from under the basement steps.
Caroline Kimmel had done some research on the Williamson Family the hard way
-- she drove to Indiana! I understand that Carolyn is still around, but is in poor health.
Her brother, Danny, is also knowledgeable about the family matters, but didn't return my
phone calls the last time I tried a few years ago. Perhaps it's time to call him again and
bring him up to date!
There is nothing of earth shaking value here, but perhaps it will fill a gap or
two.

Notes & a few errors:
+ The date of the letter is unknown, but is believed to be
from the early 1970's.
+This letter is believed to be written in an exchange with another researcher who
was following Martin Williamson of Chester, Illinois and Byrd Williamson.
+ She mentions the correct numbers on George's Pension papers, but the pension
papers are very detailed and make no mention of Missouri. As discussed previously, George
is 99.999% certain NOT to have been in Missouri as a participant in the Civil War. <-- click here for more info
+ George Williamson's son is mentioned & was a comptemorary of Claude. We
now know what happened to 4:George
Davis Williamson .
+ The Book mentioned "in an old room" is suspicious since
little supporting information is given. Take it for what it is worth.
+ Refer to the Family Tree to see John Nugent. John
apparently had a son who was a teacher in Normal, Illinois, date unknown.
