You may know all this, but I found this census record in 1880: Muscoda, Grant Co, Wisconsin John WILLIAMSON, widowed, 65, OH, laborer, father NY Mother PA Mary A. WILLIAMSON, dau, 27, IN, works in house, OH, VT Rose WILLIAMSON, dau, 22, IN, works in house, OH, VT Tippecanoe County records on the INTIPPEC site show a John Williamson in a militia enrollment in Shelby township in 1862 along with Henry, James, and Thomas B. Williamson. It may not be the same person as the John Williamson in Sheffield township. There are other Williamsons in other records in the county, mostly in Shelby but also in Jackson and Tippecanoe townships: Joseph, William, James, Samuel, Robert (m. Nancy Douthard), R. J. Williamson. John and Susan Williamson only show up in Sheffield township in the 1860 census, he 45 b. OH, farm laborer, she 45, b. VT, with the children you list: Christina, 19; David, 17; Sophia, 14; Edwin, 7; Mary A., 9; Rozella, 3. That's all I've found so far.
