Child 4. William
William's birth date is a guess based on his father's will{super 5750}, in which J R Williamson is stated to be Peter's eldest son.
Child 5. Susan
The will5750 of Peter Williamson mentions daughter Susan, "now supposed to reside in California."
Research and documentation for Susan is, at this time, incomplete. "Mrs M R Maddocks" is mentioned5747 in the obituary of John R Williamson as one of two surviving sisters. An unsourced DAR lineage688, DAR ID 65462, Susan Williamson may have married Moses R Maddocks.
