Research Notes
On her findagrave.com memorial there is document image from the Library of Virginia online [2] which discusses the last Will of John Williams (d: 1772 Brunswick County, Virginia) including passages detailing family connections and indicating that this John Williams' daughter Amy was married to Reuben Nance. This seems to prove that Reuben Nance's wife was certainly Amy Williams, daughter of John Williams, and not Amy Williamson.

Williamson-11652 and Williamson-7721 appear to represent the same person because: dups with same spouse. The husband was married twice so had to move son Joseph to correct mother. The different dates probably belong to other wife.

This person has been proven to be Williams, not WIlliamson. See notes for discussion. Williamson is incorrect and should probably be discussed in notes only (not aka).
