(Research):At the time of the 1910 census, Ida Chambers Williams indicated she was the mother of 5 children in total, only four of whom were still living. Based on this response, and that fact that these were the only adult Williams buried at New Hope near Jack A. Williams, it is assumed he is the child of Ida's that died young.

Note: A page 1 article, titled "Christmas Day Tragedy," noted that Medley, who was disabled and relied on a wheelchair for mobility, died in a house fire. Firefighters believe the fire may have begun in the living room, where numerous space heaters were located.
Could this the Nannie R. Williams (born ca 1902) that is the daughter of Simeon R. and Dora E. Williams? If so, then Marshall Pratt and Nannie R. Williams married AFTER the 1920 census, as they are both listed in the home of their parents at the time of the 1920 census. Additionally, Nannie R. Williams married Thomas Vance Parker in 1928. Therefore, if this is the same Nannie Williams then Marshal Pratt either died prior to 1928, or they divorced.

Lynell Cordell found the following family in Federal Census records, and thinks maybe this is Claude Lee Williamson in 1930. It's really hard to read and she didn't find them in 1920.

Another family is in this house but I can't read the names.
Lynell also pointed out that Juanita Rainey had corresponded with a Dr. W. Joe Williamson, the son of Claude, and grandson of Jerry. The 8 year old Joe in the above family makes this a likely fit.
Williamson, Ellen F., Death date- July 30, 1930, - Birth date- Sept 21, 1897, Cottonwood Cem., single, Parents: Jerry Williamson, Lou Emma Gentry, Farm girl - Tuberculosis - 8 brothers were pall bearers (Note: Differs from the Cemetery records, above)
Juanita is really on top of things! She noticed that the 1930 census shows Ellen as 22 years old. Then I noticed that Ellen is not on the 1900 census. So, we've decided that maybe both the cemetery record and the funeral home record may be right and wrong. What do you think of the dates 9/21/1907 - 7/30/1930? Lynell
