Dica Ann (Dicy) Smith was my third great grandmother. She married first my third great grandfather Jacob England, and married second James Calvin (Calvin) Giles. Jacob died in 1863 in the Civil War, and Dicy married Calvin Giles in 1865. So Amanda age 19 was really Amanda England rather than Amanda Giles. |

William George Washington Green age 12 was the first husband of my great grandmother Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray. Their marriage record says that his name was W. G. W. Green. Their divorce record says that his name was William Green. William Green and Haley Bray had one child, Charles Lee Green. Charles later changed his name to Charles Lee Bray and was known in the family as Uncle Charlie Bray. Uncle Charlie was the half brother of my grandmother Lola Ethel Williamson, Haley Bray having married second to my great grandfather John William Williamson. William was the son of Isaac P.

Scerphona was Safrona C. (Froney) Cross. The couple was married in 1877 in Roane County. Mary A. Scarbrough was William's daughter from a previous marriage. Froney Scarbrough and her husband William Scarbrough were parties to an 1888 Cross family lawsuit concerning the disposition of some inherited land. Froney Scarbrough was an heir of Polly Cross in the suit, but it is not totally clear who Polly Cross was. Polly was the legatee of the real estate of William Cross the Revolutionary War drummer boy, but whether she was a daughter, a daughter-in-law, etc. is not known for sure. William Scarbrough was the son of Allen Albert Scarbrough and Mary Ervin. It is believed that Allen Albert Scarbrough was not of the Bucks County, Pennsylvania line of Scarbroughs. |

Benjamin Leach Peters was the son of Tobias Peters Jr. and Martha Miranda Mays. Benjamin's wife was Amanda C. Hacker. They were married 16 Sep 1879 in Roane County. The house number and family number look funny because there is already a house number 204 and already a family number 205. I need to verify this in the microfilm. |

Alex was Alexander L. Williamson, born 3 Jan 1855. Margaret was Margaret Ann England, born 5 Mar 1852. They were married 18 Apr 1874 in Monroe County, Tennessee. They were my second great grandparents. John age 3 was my great grandfather John William Williamson who married my great grandmother Mahala Jane Bray. Amanda apparently died young because she is not in the Williamson Family Bible. |

Trion McFarland Williamson and Catharine were my third great grandparents. They were the parents of my second great grandfather Alexander L. (Alex) Williamson from dwelling number 276. At the time of the 1880 census, Cynthia Ann Williamson was married to Samuel Silvey (they had married in 1872). But Samuel had abandoned Cynthia in 1874, and Cynthia was living with her parents at the time of the 1880 census. Cynthia was divorced from Samuel in 1885. George age 6 was the son of Samuel Silvey and Cynthia Ann Williamson. I do not know if he later was known as George Silvey or as George Williamson. Trion McFarland Williamson was born in Moore County, North Carolina, the son of William Williamson and Elizabeth. There was a court house fire in Moore County in 1889. So I have not been able to find marriage records for Trion and Catharine, nor for William and Elizabeth. I do not have the surname for Catharine nor for Elizabeth. |
