Notes for William Karr PRICE
Lived in Rutherford Co., TN before moving to Gibson with his Williamson relatives. Clara's father, Ludowick Williamson died in Gibson 1840. In late 1830's they were all part of a wagon train that started out in NC picking up people in Rutherford Co, headed for Texas or Missouri. When they got to Gibson County, the Wagon Masters wife took sick and died. He was so upset he would not go any further. So they bought land in Gibson and settled down. Many moved over into Weakley in the mid 1850's....see Sharp/Coats files. 1850 district 13 Gibson Co., TN census
Store account for William Price in a/c by John L. Davis 1845 $32.57 (Gibson Co.) We have not been suscessful in finding William Karr PRICE'S parents. Inez says in her notes: Was William K. PRICE one of the Mecklenberg Co. NC line? In Rutherford Co. his land ajoined that of Thomas PRICE. Letter from a William K. PRICE of Giles Co. TN to his brother Isaac in Mecklenberg Co. NC mentions that Cousin Thomas PRICE has settled on Stone's River in Rutherford Co.[where is the letter, when was it dated? ] Thomas PRICE had 2 sons in the right age group for William K. to be a son --1820 census. William Karr Price named a son Thomas, another was named John, Thomas' father's name. The Williamson family descendants say ..father of Clara and Brothers moved to Gibson County in 1838/1839.

Notes for Catharine (Clara) A.
WILLIAMSON
Clara Williamson's family moved from
Rutherford
Co., TN to Gibson. Many of her siblings raised their families in
Gibson.
Brother Beverly WILLIAMSON is noted for naming Milan, TN. Story goes
surveyors
for Railroad men came through the countyside, spotted him working in a
field, asked him whose land were they on, he answered, "My Land".
They misunderstood and wrote it down as Milan.
Notes for William Edward (Billie)
(Child 1)
Inez Halchin notes says both Billie and Molley died of smallpox, also says birthdate for Betty may be incorrect. Also Will Price said that his parents died when he was 4 years old (1870). Enrollment Book #98 & 99 of Bethel Baptist Church, Greenfield, TN Billie & Molley joined by baptism 1869 lost by death 1870 for Billie; she listed as Mrs. Molley Price, wife of Billie Price, lost by death - no date. Legal doc. dated March of 1870 says Mary Alice, wife of William E. still alive. Betty is not listed on doc. as one of the minor children. Maybe she was born in 1870 or maybe Jan of 1871. Betty is living with Featherstone's in 1880 census, listed as age 8 which can't be correct. I found the William E. PRICE family on 1860 census with just dau. Mary Alice 8/12 of year old. All 5 of the minor children living in 1880 census with COATS, ERVINS and FEATHERSTONE relatives.
