There is a headstone in this cemetery naming "Sallie E Williamson" as the w/o 
H.L Fagg.  FYI, Sallie's given name was "Sarah", she was the daughter of James 
Williamson and Eliza Callaham.  James Williamson was the s/o Mastin Williamson & 
Sarah Cox, also buried in this cemetery.  I spent several hours last Saturday 
with Buddy, trying to map & identify other headstones.  One fieldstone was 
cleared etched with "W.W. 1852".  This is believed to be the fieldstone of 
"William Williamson" born 1764-1852.  The father of Mastin Williamson.  Another 
fieldstone was etched "R W".  Believed to be the stone of "Rosanna Williamson", 
w/o William Williamson.

The Williamson Cemetery was started on William Williamson's land not Mastin's. 
The Cemetery is now located on The Williamson Farm Land, a partnership, not on 
Dempsey land. The Dempsey land is about 2 acres where their house is located.

William Williamson bought all this land in 1797 for $300. I just want him to get 
proper credit. I like to tell people we have had this land for over 200 yrs and 
we have it about paid for. It is a Bi-Centenial farm. One of 80+ in SC. I have
been Senior partner since our Mother's death in 1985. Thank you again.
