My gr gr grandfather was William W. WIlliamson. He was born in 1809 in Rutherford Co., TN. (According to his Civil War papers). I have been trying to find who his parents/siblings were. He married Nancy Bryant on May 15, 1834 in McCnairy Co., TN. They were living in McNairy Co., TN on the 1840 census. They are living in Henderson Co., TN on the 1850 census. They are in Henderson Co. on the 1860 census. It was from there that William and his son, George W. joined the Union Army in 1862. According to her Widow's Pension papers, Nancy Bryant Williamson moved to Hardin Co., either while William was still in the Army, or shortly after he was killed. William and Nancy are both buried in Liberty Cemetery in Hardin Co. William was shot and killed in a skirmish with Rebel soldiers outside Saltillo in Hardin Co. in 1864. His son, George, (my gr grandfather) spent 13 months as a prisoner in Andersonville Prison in GA. After the was, he married Talisa Elizabeth Hopper, daughter of Eli S.and Avis Ann Hopper on Dec. 9, 1866 in Hardin Co. George W. Williamson and family and mother, Nancy Williamson, and children are living in Hardin Co., on the 1870 census. I cannot find George and family listed on the 1880 census but I know that they were living in Milan in Gibson county as their son, Louis Washinton Williamson, was born there in 1880. Also, George's mother-in-law, Avis Hopper Benton, and his brother-in-law, Merida Hopper, are living in Milan on the 1880 census. Nancy Bryant Williamson and son Henry H. and wife, are still living in Hardin Co. in 1880. Somwhere around 1899-1890, George W. and Talisa moved to Stoddard Co., MO. Nancy Bryant Williamson died Sept. 9, 1891 in Hardin Co. On the 1810-1891 Tennessee Census in 1891, William and Nancy's sons George W,. John B. and James M. are listed in Hardin Co. George died on Oct 22, 1891. George had gone back for his mother's funeral in Sept. 1891 when he took ill and died at his sister, Eda Louise Williamson Barker's, house in Henderson Co., TN. He is buried in Lebanon Cemetery in Hardin Co. His wife, Talisa, and some of their children remained in the Stoddard, Dunklin and Butler County areas of MO. Some stayed in TN. I would very much like to hear from anyone of the Littleton, Ludah and Beverly Williamson family. Maybe we can make a connection. Thank you. Charlotte Christensen ly68@charter.net
