RESEARCH:

GIDEON WILLIAMSON was born at Hamburg, Berks county, Pennsylvania, and was a son of William Williamson, whose father was a native of Wales, who settled in Chester county,. Pennsylvania, prior to the Revolution. Early in the present century, Gideon removed to Aspertown, Pennsylvania, and in 1824 he came to Lycoming county, and settled in Lycoming township (now Anthony), where Jackson King now lives. He purchased fifty acres of land from, his brother John, who came to the township the year previous, and he resided there until his death. He and brother had lived in Buffalo valley, Union county, for several years before their settlement in Lycoming county. Gideon served in the war of 1812. He married Lydia Shoemaker, and their children were as follows: James, deceased; Mary, deceased wife of William Smith; Sarah, widow of David Kulp; Lydia, wife of, George Kinney; George, deceased; John, of Williamsport; Gideon, of Iowa; Elizabeth, wife of A. Venanda; Henry S., and Alexander, deceased. Politically he was a Democrat, and a Lutheran in religion.

From another researcher - no documentation yet -

James Williamson from Philadelphia PA in the early 1700's he married Jane Davies on Aug 19 1743 in Philadephia. His children are William, Absolom, Gideon, James jr, Joseph, Hannah and Mary. I am a desendant of William. The only information I have on James is that he came here from Wales.

James Williamson was the son of Robert, b. 3 Oct 1686 in Chester Co., Pa., & Hannah Coppock. I only know of their son James.

Robert was the son of Daniel Williamson (son of Robert & Mary Smith Williamson) and Mary Smith (dau. of Robert Smith & Ellen Williamson - Robert Smith's parents were William Smith & Anne Rylands. Ellen's parents were John Williamson & Jane Harry.)

=========================================================

In the book, "History of Lycoming County PA" it
states that my 7th Great Grandfather James Williamson born around 1710 died in 1762 (married to Jane Davies in Philadelphia Aug 27 1743) was an immigrant from Wales. I am at a stand still I have searched tons of passenger lists and cannot find him there. The only one lead I have is that there were williamson's that came into Virginia in the 1600's and some moved to PA. I also could use some help in where to look for information overseas (Wales & Scotland) I dont have a clue as to where to begin.
