My Great Grandpa^[7] William W 'Bill' Williamson married Ruth Elizabeth Finley 12 Apr 1882. They had 11 children. When Ruthie died about 1914 he would live with one or the other of his children as can be seen in the Census from 1920 to 1940. As shown in the 1940 Census, at age 78, he was living with his youngest daughter Leona and her family which included Willie Jean Williamson her niece who was the daughter of Leona's brother John Clifton Williamson. Then as remembered by his Grand-Daughter Jean, in May of 2013 at the age of 87, she heard of her granddaddy's death not long after she and her husband moved to Eureka, CA in 1944. Also he is not shown in his son Wallace Ellis Williamson's Obituary in 1947 so his Death Year is estimated at 1946, burial place unknown. At the time of death, according to other family members, he may have been living with his oldest daughter Eliza. All taking place on or around Dry Creek Road, Magee, Simpson County, Mississippi. ^[7]
