During a recent visit to the NC State Archives, I checked the 1900, 1910, and 1920 Wilson Co, NC Census and found the following: In 1900, Levy (Levi) T. Williamson was living at dwelling # 342 in Cross Roads Township with wife Sarah and daughters Susan and Bettie. He was listed as being 68 years old and born in NC in 1837. His birth year agrees with his Civil War records, so he was probably closer to 63. His son, Albert C. Williamson, lived in Black Creek Township at dwelling #402 with wife Clarkie (Lamm), daughters Minnie L. and Eva B. (Blanche). In 1910, Albert Williamson was living at dwelling # 289 in Black Creek Township with wife Clarkie, daughters Minnie, Blanche, and Georgia, and sons Wade, Grover, and Earl. Two doors down, in dwelling # 291, was Loften T. Lamm, wife Mary, son Joseph, and daughters Edith and Louberta. Listed as a boarder and a widower was Levi Williamson, age 79. In 1920, Albert Williamson was listed with his family in Sampson Co, NC, where they lived for awhile before returning to Wilson Co. There was no listing for Levi Williamson or Williams with the right age in either Wilson or Sampson Co, nor the entire state of NC. I checked the death records of the state and the counties and could find no record of his death between 1910 and 1920. I also found no record of his wife's death between 1900 and 1910. I know that the counties were not required to keep death records until 1917 or so. I also found no listing for them in the Wilson Co. Cemeteries books. My great aunts, Rosamond Wells and Grace Williamson of Wilson Co, daughters of Albert Williamson, do not know when Levi and Sarah died or where they might be buried. I also have checked the Wilson Co. Estate records and found nothing, although it's possible that I may have overlooked something. The leads that I want to follow are the Loften Lamm connection and possible obituaries in the Wilson papers of that time frame. What papers were being published between 1900 and 1920 and are they archived? If so, where can I get more information? Does anyone know more about Loften Lamm and his descendants, maybe a family member that is alive and may remember something about Levi Williamson. One last item: does anyone know the funeral homes of the area between 1900 and 1920 and whether or not records are available from them for that time frame. I'm sorry this is so long, but I would really appreciate any help on this matter. It would bring some sort of closure for many people concerning a not too distant ancestor. Thanks to everyone in advance. Hunter Ferrell Louisville, KY [email protected]
