Seeking information about Matthew Williamson (1825-1855). If anyone can help me locate his descendants or his grave, I would be so grateful. Please read the following notes: MATTHEW M. WILLIAMSON was born 1825 in Emanuel County, GA, and died April 02, 1855 in Emanuel County. His parents were John Williamson and Elizabeth Sullivan. He married MARY FOUNTAIN June 14, 1841 in Emanuel County. She was born 1825, and died in FL?. Child of MATTHEW WILLIAMSON and MARY FOUNTAIN: JOHN WILLIAMSON, b. 1846, Emanuel County, GA; d. FL?. 1850 Census Emanuel County, GA #447 Matthew Williamson age 24 Mary age 24 John age 4 Matthew died when he was shot in the back by an onlooker as he mounted his horse to leave the scene of a duel in which he had killed his opponent. Original place of burial (in Emanuel County) unknown--assume he was buried in same cemetery with his father who died four years earlier...this old burial site has been lost to time. I learned the date of Matthew's death when I found the grave of the man he had killed. A nephew of Matthew told me that his remains were removed to Florida in later years by his children and some of his brothers were present when the remains were exhumed. At the time of his death, he was a resident of Madison County, Florida; therefore, he moved there from Georgia between 1850 and 1855. Only a few weeks prior to his death, he had sold all of his property in Georgia to his brother, Samuel. His estate was administered by his brother-in-law, Thomas J. Morris. There may be other children, but I don't have any further records. Your help will be appreciated. Olivia Williamson Saffold in Emanuel County, GA saffold@pineland.net
