A second John Williamson (d. Jul 1806) lived in Henrico Co. VA about at the time of my ancestor. I have no idea whether they were related. This second John Williamson married Sarah Price and, according to his will, had at least six children, Thomas Williamson, John Price Williamson, Elizabeth Williamson, Mary Lancaster Williamson, Rebecca nee Williamson Bowles and Sarah B. nee Williamson Talley. Those who are interested in following the descendants of Sarah B. nee Williamson Talley should contact George Hughes Jr. (ghu10728@comcast.net).
