Here, gathered in our beloved South Dakota, are a few members of our Williamson / Mattson Clan. Charles and Luella are to be blamed (be kind, they didn't know what they were doing). We're generally a happy bunch and somewhat intelligent (notwithstanding our tenuous grasp on reality). I'm also proud to say that most of us still have our teeth.

The Search for Williamsons Continues. Newton Scott Williamson

Hello Williamsons,
The 1940 Federal Census was recently released.  It has a treasure trove of family names and links that I'm beginning to explore.  My goal is to expand our knowledge of our Williamson family in America.

We descend from William Jonathan Williamson and Effie Helen Victor.  William Jonathan Williamson had several brothers and sisters whose descendants have spread from coast to coast.  I'm searching for those descendants of our Great Great Williamson Uncles and Aunts.

I found information on our Great Grand Uncle Samuel Williamson.  Samuel was born in 1866 and died on January 27, 1929 in Texas.  He married Celia Dora DeWeese.  Together they had four children

  • Clara G. Williamson 1895 – 
  • Newton Scott Williamson 1897 – 1975
  • Lemuel Hobart "Red" Williamson 1900 – 1981
  • Edith Marie Williamson 1903 – 1973
  • Goldie Mabel Williamson 1906 – 
I found the following information on Newton Scott Williamson.  First, the Relationship Chart.

I contacted a member of Newton's family through Ancestry.com and am waiting for a response.  It would be good to learn more about our Williamson cousins.  

The following is the only other information I have on cousin Newton taken from the 1940 census.
It is interesting to see that Newton's formal education ended with the 8th grade.  
More information to follow.
