Jasper Williamson

Jasper Williamson Records

Born Feb 19, 1842 in Johnson County, Kentucky. Son of Shadrack & Sarah (West) Williamson.

He married Naomy CRUM, 15 January 1863 in Lawrence Co., KY. She was born 1844-1846 in Wayne Co., VA., now WV. and died 17 Feb. 1897 according to her gravestone, or Nov. 18, 1897 according to her death record. (She is the 3rd from the top on both pages, Page1 & Page2) She died in Woodson Co., KS. She is buried next to her husband Jasper at the Little Sandy Cemetery, Wilson Co., KS. Unfortunately her death record at Yates Center, Woodson Co., KS. Courthouse does not show her parents names. The record just wasn't completely filled out. The record only lists her as Mrs. Jasper Williamson age 50, her gravestone says age 53. I need to find her obituary from a 1897 Woodson or Wilson County newspaper. ( If anyone out there could find it I would very much appreciate it!)
So I'm still looking for more proof of who her parents are. But I believe they are David & Nancy (Adair) Crum, m.1830. David was born about 1807 to Adam & Barbara (Horne) Crum. I don't have a good source for David's parents, that info was found on the web and I have yet to research them. Nancy Adair's father was John Adair, he was born between 1771 & 1780. John is shown living next door to David & Nancy in 1830, the year they were married 1830 Lawrence Co., KY. John Adair & his wife had at least 7 children. John Adair's father was James Adair Sr. I don't have a birth estimate for him yet. The Adair family info comes from a land settlement court case involving John's half brother James Adair Jr., who died having never married & owning a large amount of land.
Besides John Adair (Nancy's father) in that 1830 Census of Lawrence Co., KY. is Adam Crum, living next to (probably) his sons Frederick & David Crum, each married with children.

1900 I haven't found Jasper in this census. There is a Jasper Williamson living with the A. Justice family in the 1900 El Paso Co., Colorado Census that could be this Jasper. But I don't have enough evidence to prove it yet.

                    Death source: Buffalo Blade Newspaper pub. Sept. 16, 1932 Reads- "Mel Williamson, a former resident (of Buffalo, KS.) died in Tulsa, OK. Wednesday.
