Census records and George Williamson's obituary6061 mention that he was a farmer, a carpenter, and a vineyardist by occupation.

In 1850, George, age 18, resided5661 in the household of David Williamson and (assumed) wife Elizabeth. In 1855, George P Williamson, age 23, unmarried, had residing in his household5692 "father" David Williamson, "mother" Elizabeth, and siblings Seamore, Nancy, and Hannah.

In 1875, George and "wife" Phebe Williamson resided5814 in Bath, NY, with "wifes son" Bertin Bennett; "daughter" Mary Bennett; and children Sarah, George, and John; and Maria Townsend, age 85, "mother," assumed to be Phebe's mother.

The 1892 census1091 does not indicate households or relationships, but listed sequentially, with George the only entry with an occupation listed, were (all listed with the surname Williamson: George P, Phebe, Lottie, Georgiana, and John. Of particular interest is "Georgiana," age 20, listed as female.

After the death of wife Phebe, George resided5907 in 1900 with his son-in-law Myron Aber, and his daughter (Myron's wife) Charlotte.

Phebe's obitiuary6051 states that, on her mother's side, she was a descendant of Gilbert Ferris, an American soldier during the Revolutionary War. It may be that her mother's maiden name was Ferris, but that, as yet, hasn't been documented.

In 1870, Charlotte Williamson, age 1, resided2533 in the household of Geo. P. Williamson and (assumed) wife Phoeba. Burton and Mary Bennett (children by her mother's first marriage) also resided there.

In the 1875 census5814, among the children of George and Phebe Williamson was "Sarah" Williamson, age 6, "daughter," born in Steuben County. Sarah Williamson hadn't appeared previously, not does she appear after the 1875 census. That child was almost certainly Charlotte. Why she was identified as "Sarah" in that census isn't clear. In 1880, Charlotte was enumerated1084 as "Lottie," age 11, "daughter" of George P and Phebe Williamson. In 1892, Lottie Williamson, age 22, is listed1091 following entries for George P and Phebe Williamson.

Charlotte Williamson married Myron Aber about 1894, as indicated in the 1900 census5907 which lists Myron and wife Charlotte as married 6 years.
