[2] Silas WILLIAMSON's father, John, was born in 1790, and was eight years old when he came out here with his father, David. They were of Holland descent. David WILLIAMSON, the grandfather, married Mary Van Dyke In 1787, And Emigrated From Pa To Ky In June, 1797, And From Ky To Oh In November, 1798, And Settled In Liberty Twp, In Section 14. He had four sons: George, born 1788; John, father of Silas, born 1790; David V., born 1795, and Peter, born 1801. In 1797 there was a settlement formed on BEATTY's place. Beatty was the first, and Voorhees the next. It is said this twp owed its name of Liberty to old 'Squire John MORROW, who had formerly lived in Liberty, PA, and that he went to Hamilton expressly to have the name given. There was a hand-mill at Mr. BEATTY's place, and the stone was afterwards put under the corner-stone of a barn. Mr. WILLIAMSON was born in 1819, on the farm where he now lives, in Section 15. He was married To Christian White In 1843, And Has Two Children, Cordelia, Born In 1849, And Milton, Born In 1810***. The latter was married To Ada Beatty In 1878. Mr. WILLIAMSON's mother's name was Christina BREWER. She was born in Mercer County, KY, in 1798, married In 1817, And Died In 1843. She had seven children: David, Silas, Mary Ann, Jane, John T., George W., and Margaret. Silas WILLIAMSON was elected township clerk in 1865, and has held the office ever since, with the exception of two years. He was elected a justice of the peace in 1865, and has held that office ever since. He has been for many years a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church, as were his father and grandfather before him.
