John Williamson of Virginia

John Williamson came to America ca. 1707 and settled in Henrico County Virginia

Generation One

WILLIAMSON, Sir Joseph b 1630 England

m Catherine O'Brien Stewart

Sir Joseph purchased the estate of the Duke of Richmond in Kent, England. Its seat was called Cobham Hall. He served as Secretary of State and was once imprisoned in the Tower of London for allegedly taking part in a plot to permit Catholics into England.

Generation Two

WILLIAMSON, John b 1687 England d 1757 Henrico County, Virginia

m Rebecca Chamberlayne

The only evidence for the John as the son or grandson of Sir Joseph is that John named his place opposite Jamestown, Cobham. There is another theory regarding John's ancestors that appears to be more realistic. John was elected vestryman for Curl's Church on 17 June 1735
