    1. Marriage Look-up Request: Null / Pribble
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Null Pribble Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QEC.2ACE/2175 Message Board Post: Isaac B. Null married Lavina Pribble on 19 Oct 1867 in Ritchie Co. I am hopeful that someone can look up this marriage record for me and tell me if the name of Lavina Pribble's mother is listed in the marriage record. This is a collateral line of a tangled up family - and since I have been unable to solve the problem head on, I'm trying to surround it instead! Thanks for your help.

If you have an interest in learning more about the Williamson family, you are invited to join the festivities. The activities for this year’s reunion include a covered dish luncheon, a tour of old home places, cemeteries, Tyler County museum and other points of Williamson family historical interest.

These were folk who had gone from Scotland to Northern Ireland (Ulster), and after some years moved on to Pennsylvania. Penn's colony was like a promised land. The main reason for migrating was economic, although political and religious factors played a part, too. Large scale movement to Pennsylvania began about 1715. One of the main settlements was in what is now Lancaster County, Pennsylvania - in the Pequea Valley, named for Pequea Creek. The Pequea Presbyterian Church was organized in 1724. Lancaster County was formed in 1729. By the 1730's the Cumberland Valley attracted most of the Ulster-Scots. It is estimated that, by the outbreak of the Revolution in 1775, a quarter of a million Ulster-Scots or Scots had come to Pennsylvania. One of the families to leave Ulster was that of Samuel Williamson, a staunch Presbyterian, as were all the Ulster-Scots. Samuel was born in Fifeshire, Scotland (north of Edinburgh), in 1688. He was married about 1720 to Mary ---, and soon after went to County Armagh, Ireland (west of Belfast). About 1733 he came to America and settled in the Pequea Valley. Most all Williamsons living in the local area today are descended from Moses Williamson, son of Samuel.
