Hannah Williamson is buried next to her husband's parents, Moses and Lucy Ann (Slack) Williamson. Her grave is marked.
She was born in New Hanover Twp., Burlington Co., NJ to Augustus Horn and his wife Maria Danley Horn, later Walton. On her birth record is was listed as Anna Maria Horn although she seems to have quickly become Hannah.
She lived in Burlington County at least until 1865 because there are records of government payments to her family in Burlington County while her father served during the Civil War. Her youngest sister was born in 1865 in Cranbury, Middlesex Co., NJ showing the family was then there. At the time of the 1870 Census, Hannah was living with her parents and youngest siblings in Springfield, Union Co, NJ. Her older sisters were living elsewhere, probably in live-in jobs.
Her parents separated shortly after the 1870 Census. Both remarried. Her mother in Hightstown, NJ in 1872 and her father in Connecticut in 1873 although he had a son born in 1872 in CT. It is fair to say that her father deserted his youngest still dependent children in New Jersey and started a new family in Connecticut.
She was not been found in the 1880 Census although both parents and her siblings can all be found. She was with none of them. My assumption is that she had a live-in job as her older sisters had before their marriages and was missed by the census taker.
Her mother and sisters all lived in the Hightstown, Mercer Co. /Cranbury, Middlesex Co. area in the 1870s - 1880s. Two sisters and her brother later moved to Trenton. One sister remained in Hightstown.
She married Joseph Williamson in 1886 in Hightstown, NJ. The 1885 NJ Census shows that her sister Rosella Horn Lewis and brother-in-law Cornelius Lewis were in Delaware Twp., Hunterdon, in 1885 although they later were back in Hightstown. It is assumed that she met Joseph Williamson there while living with or visiting them. His extended family lived in the Delaware Twp. area although his parents then lived in Lambertville.
They had three sons--Grover, Elias, and Fred--and two daughters--Hannah who died young and Carrie Bella who was adopted as an infant and became Jean Bull in 1898.
They lived in Delaware Twp., NJ for the first ten years of their marriage. Joseph worked for his cousin, also Joseph Williamson, on the Williamson family farm in Stockton and then on the Samuel Wolverton farm, south of Rosemont. The family broke up c. 1897. Hannah was committed to Trenton State Hospital. There is a family story that a house fire precipitated her mental collapse but no record of a fire has been found in the many local newspapers of the day in spite of them regularly reporting fires. However, the burning death of her eldest daughter in 1892 and the fact that her youngest son was listed in the 1895 NJ Census as the dead daughter point to a cause. For the next years, the family members are found in separate households. However, the sons remained in touch in later years. All are listed together with their Knowles cousins in the obituary of their uncle Asher Williamson in 1930.
Hannah is believed to be the seated woman in the picture. The others are believed to be her sisters. The picture was taken c. 1915.
A relationship was maintained with, at least, the family of her son, Grover Williamson.
She is buried here next to her husband's parents and surrounded by Williamson in-laws and her son Elias.
