Note for: John (W.J.) Williamson, 1793 - 28 May 1860 Index
Individual note: Tombstone Inscription in Cossayuna cemetery - "Weep not dear friends, dry your tears Though dust to dust lies mouldering here The important past has winged its way To regions of immortal day"
Looking for info on William John Williamson of Argyle, (Wash. Co.) NY; b. abt 1793, d. 5/28/1860; sp. Elizabeth White, b. abt 1798; d. 7/29/1872 (Argyle). At least one son: James Williamson, b. 12/18/1825, d. 4/30/1889; sp. Jane E. Black, b. 7/10/1837, d. 9/22/1870 (Argyle). Also, father of W.J. Williamson was Alexander Williamson - info unknown
Just needed aplace to save this about other williamson emigres:
Lynn Chroust told us this story about her great-great grandmother's crossing of the Atlantic:
My great-great grandmother, Margaret Williamson, followed several of her siblings and left Ballybay, County Antrim, Ireland for the United States in 1848. During the voyage, the ship encountered very stormy weather, which damaged the ship. The damage was so bad, in fact, that they were essentially shipwrecked at sea and drifted for several weeks. They finally did manage to make it to the United States however, landing in Norfolk, Virginia, after 14 weeks on board.
Margaret was just 20 years old at the time of her passage to America, and the storm wasn't the only excitement that she had on board. She also had a proposal of marriage -- from the young captain himself. Margaret declined his proposal, however, and got a job in Norfolk, working as a seamstress for the wealthy Harris family. She eventually settled in upstate New York, marrying and raising a family.
Does anyone out ther have any information on Samuel Huggins and his wife, Mary (Gleason) Huggins of probably near Ballybay, Co. Monaghan (or Coote Hill, Co. Cavan), circa 1800-1830? They had 10 children, some who emigrated to upstate NY, specifically to Washington Co. (Argyle and Hartford). Their son John Huggins (my gr-gr grndfthr) and his wife Nancy Williamson Huggins sailed to America in 1832, and settled in Argyle, NY. His brother Samuel and sister Betsy also settled in the same area. His other siblings (Robert, Edward, Richard, David, Sarah, Mary Ann, and James) we know little about. Much obliged.
I am fishing in the dark here with little bait, but I'll give it a try. I am trying to track down Sarah Huggins King Bump, spouse of Robert Bump, around 1862-1875, possibly from the Washington Co. area of New York state. I have no information on Robert Bump at all; e.g., dates, places, etc. However, I do know that his wife Sarah was the daughter of Samuel and Mary (Gleason) Huggins of Co. Monaghan, Ireland. She was born probably sometime between 1810 and 1835. Her siblings, John, Samuel and Elizabeth Huggins McKernon emigrated to Washington County, NY in the 1830-1845 timeframe. Sarah was first married to James King of Argyle(?), who died in 1861 at age 28. Robert Bump was supposedly her second husband. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Notes for Col. William Chamberlain: From: Barbara Rampt Ramptex@aol.com 1998
There's a Prall genealogy, The Prall Family, by Richard Dwight Prall which was published in 1990. It seems that a Mary S. Prall (1807-1847) married Issacher Hoagland (1803-1878) who was the grandson of Derrick Hogeland (1743-1827) and Elizabeth Chamberlain (1748-1829) Elizabeth was the daughter of our ancestors, Lewis Chamberlain (1710-1772) and Lucretia Woolsey Chamberlain (1709-1812). Mr. Prall therefore included some info on the Chamberlains on pages 144 & 145 of his book.
He repeats the story about Lewis and Lucretia crossing the Sourland Mountains on foot but regulates it to "family tradition". He then adds the further information that "Lewis built a log cabin and cleared the land while Lucretia helped drag brush for burning while carrying their first child (our ancestor William) in a sack on her back."
With regard to William, Prall states "Co. Wm. Chamberlain was of the Chambellon Huguenot family who settled in London about two decades before the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1685. After the great fire in London in 1666, the family moved to Ireland. Tradition says that three sons of the Chambellon refugee came to America about the beginning of the 18th century, changed their name to Chamberlain or Chamberlin, and the ancestor of Co. Wm. settled in Hunterdon Co., N. J.
Co. Wm. Chamberlain purchased from John Garrison in 1761 a house and mill on Neshanic Creek at Rainbow Hill, Hunterdon Co., N. J. At the time of the Rev. War, he owned a farm and mills on Neshanic Creek near Wertsville. He was a capt. of the 2nd Regt. of Hunterdon Co. during the Rev War and was in a number of battles and skirmishes. In 1776 he was promoted to major and later to Lt. Col. in both the militia and the continental army. Col. Wm. was at Trenton, Germantown 1777, Monmouth 1778, Elizabethtown 1780, and Springfield 1780. When Major Wm. Chamberlain was promoted in 1776, Capt. Nathan Stout (see Stout Ch.) took over his company. A foraging party of the British in 1776 burned Col. Wm. Chamberlain's mill at Clover Hill. At the Battle of Germantown on 10-3 & 10-4-1777, he lost his oldest son Lewis 18y. On 3-22-1780 Col., Wm. was court martialed for his "ungentelmanly and unofficer-like behavior towards the officers and men, impeding the militia, and favoritism toward certain officers." He was cashiered from the militia on 5-14-1781. In the 1780 Hunterdon Co. rateables he had 94 acres of farm land plus 20 acres of undeveloped land. Col. Wm. moved to Shamoken, Union Co., Pa., in 1792 where he purchased 600 acres."
Lucretia was one tough lady. No wonder she lived past 100 after bearing twelve children. I believe that Prall is incorrect about the Chamberlains having evolved from Chambellons. There seems to be an abundance of evidence that Henry Chamberlain came to Mass. in the 1600s and we are descended from him. I also think that both the court martial and cashiering were in 1781. The 1780 date is probably a typo. Haven't checked the other details but Prall probably did. I have seen other accounts which state that Col. William's son Lewis was not in the army but was visiting his father at the time of the battle of Germantown. He is supposed to have taken up a rifle but was struck by a cannon ball and bled to death before he could be taken to a surgeon."

Notes for Ann Mary Kimble: Obituary of a Venerable Lady Died at the house of Mrs. John Chamberlin, in Lewisburg, Friday morning, 4th of March 1859, Mrs. Ann Mary Chamberlin, relict of Col. William Chamberlin, deceased, in her 90th year. The weakness of old age was her only disease; she was confined to her bed bur a few days, and retained her senses to the last. The life and character of this admirable mother, afford materials for an interesting chapter of domestic history. Her maiden name was Kimble; her parentage of a French and German origin; her birth place, New York city, in November 1769. When the British took possession of the city, the family -- to avoid them -- retreated to Hunterdon county, New Jersey, where, however their premises were afterward robbed by the Hessians. She had many reminiscences, of varied character, respecting those dark days in our country's history. After peace was declared, the family returned to the city. Their residence was on Ann street, near William, where she daily saw President Washington, going to and from Congress, or driving out, and sated that, no matter how often he passed, all would press to the window to see his noble form -- she thought the popular feeling for him approached idolatry, and that his death might have been a wise providence to theck that tendency. Her memory was distinct of the persons many other Revolutionary worthies. Amoung their nearest neighbors was the family of Washington Irving, and she often carried the child, now the author of the "Sketch Book," in her arms. His writings were among the choice treasures of reading. His sister, Miss Nancy Irving, Mrs. C. corresponded with her in her earlier years, and oftern expressed her regret that she had not preserved her letters, which were among the most elegant compositions she ever read -- fully equal, she judged, to the literary productions of the brother. Not long before her death she sad,' Washington Irving must be getting old -- as much as 75," and on enquiry it was found to be exactly his age. In 1794, she married Col. William Chamberlin in Buffalo Valley, by whom she had eight children, (the five younger of whom are living,) and survived him 42 years. Her industry and judgment in rearing a numerous family, were happily rewarded, and she passed a good old age in the enjoyment of the love and esteem of a large circle of friends. From her youth up, Mrs. C. had a passion for reading, and perhaps few people have perused more books, or better retained their contents in memory. While a girl, "she devoured everything accessible in the shape of letters, often at times and places unknown to her mother; and when tree-score and ten, would sit at her spinning wheel with her book and before her both wheel and book were involved. For five years past, her eyesight .. she used the eys of others in pursuing her wanted past-time of reading. Her memory, especially of dates, was most extraordinary, and she was a living family record of all the old settlers in the Valley. Her intimate knowledge of the politics of the day was excelled by men; her early Whig training made her an ardent Republican and the religious progress of the world interested her to the last week of her life. She had no prejudice against innovations -- did not esteem old times or old persons as necessarily better than new -- but judged everything by reason and its merits. She could adapt herself to any company, and draw out and impart instruction on almost any topic. Mrs. C. was christened by Rev. Dr. John Rogers (who was converted under Whitfield's ministry) of the Presbyterian church in New York city, but some time attended the Baptist meeting, on account of their having a stove in their house of worship -- a piece of furniture then almost unknown in such places. Her church relationship was Presbyterian; her Christian character firm, cheerful and conciliatory. Among the celebrated preachers she had heard was Rev. Dr. Withersppon, of Revolutionary memory. She had also witnessed Commencements at Princeton, and could never forget the excessive fit of laughter into which at one time Pres. Withersppon was thrown by the oration of one of the graduates; the narration of the incident always excited a similar influence upon herself. Thus has passed away one of the brightest links in the chain connecting the present age with the past -- pehaps the most intelligent person who had any direct knowledge of the great men and stirring events of our Revolutionary era. No one in this region, probably was as well informed of the local history which came with her means of knowledge ... gainable and interesting annals .. Cherished be her memory.
