According to Joseph W. Alley it is not known where they lived before coming to Turkey Creek in Pike County Kentucky. He owned all of Turkey Creek and the land around where the Miners Medical Center is now. He was a good farmer and Baptist Minister. While attempting to cross the Tug River on a horse when the river was up, he was drowned, and was buried on the hill above where he lived. After his death, his brother Benjamin bought the land from the heirs.

Williamson family tree book by Joseph W Alley, published 1962. On the second page of the book Joseph stated "Any member of the Williamson family may use material in this book for further genealogical purposes or for articles of interest to the family". The book is void of a lot of dates but has a wealth of information on the past family and siblings.
