I have a great deal of information on Susan Williamson. She was the mother of Henry Monroe Williamson, who served the Confederate Army from Dooly County. He is buried in Crisp County at Zion Hope Cemetery. Susan Williamson was known as "Susie". I have a photograph of her, and her tombstone's "297 pounds" looks accurate! A large woman she was! Susie Williamson was born Susie Weldon. She married John Williamson, the widower of her sister Nancy Weldon. (Nancy Weldon Williamson died in child birth....) John Williamson died in 1847, leaving Susie with several young children to raise. She married ????? Griffin shortly thereafter, and had two more children. But Mr. Griffin disappeared......I don't know if they divorced, separated, or maybe he died.....but Susie went back to calling herself Susie Williamson. The two children born to Mr. Griffin were also known to call themselves Williamson.....Mary Elizabeth Griffin - one of the daughters - married Mr. Nipper. She and several of her children are buried in the MHH Cemetery (Plez Nipper and the Nipper twins). There are many Poseys in Crisp County, Georgia.....and they are almost all descended from Susie Weldon Williamson. Henry Monroe Williamson has one or two grandchildren still living - Many of the Posey children lived well into their 90's.....

My great grandparents are buried in the Mary Henderson Cemetery in ASHBURN, Turner County, Georgia. They are in the J.B. Harden plot with the block wall around around the grave sites. I remember as a young boy going to the grave site with my grandfather, Joseph B. Harden, to clean the weeds around the graves. This was in the time frame of 1947-49. I also went there later with my uncle, Joseph W. Harden; this would have been in the early 1950's. My grandfather's parents are buried in the graves labeled "Father" and "Mother".
The grave marked "Father" is where Robert Monroe Harden is buried. He died in about 1881. He was born about 1847 and was the son of Henry Hardin of Sumter Co. Robert Monroe Harden served in the Confederate Army having enlisted as a private in Co. B, 11th Battalion, Georgia Artillery (Sumter Artillery) in January 1864. (All of his military records are spelled "Hardin" but his branch of the Hardin/Harden family later spelled it with a "e".) (Records show that he had three brothers in the same unit, David, James B., and Thomas Jefferson Hardin. Two other brothers served in other groups in the CSA, Henry H. and Drewry Hardin. In all, there were 15 children in the Henry Hardin family). Robert Monroe Hardin was listed as Present in all the Company Muster Rolls until November December 1864. At this time he was described as Dispatched with musket to Fort Gregg by order of Col. Walker. His record shows that he was captured at Petersburg on April 2, 1865 and was moved as a POW to Point Lookout, Md. on April 4, 1865. He was released on June 13, 1865 on
taking the oath of allegiance to the United States. The grave labeled "Mother" is the grave of Elizabeth (Betsy) Rouse Harden Hammond. She was born in 1840 in Sumter County and was the daughter of Joseph B. Rouse. She married Robert Monroe Harden on 12/21/1865 in
Sumter Co. Ga. She later married William Hammond in about 1892. I don't know when she died, but it must have been around 1910. My mother, Carrie Elizabeth Harden Bacon, was born in 1904 and she remembered her "Grandmother Hammond" who died when my mother was a young girl. I do not know who is buried in the grave marked "Sister", but my grandfather lost two sisters when they were children, Annie Elizabeth (b. 3/12/1874) and Zula Rose (b. 12/6/1876). I was under the impression that they both died when the family lived in Ocala, Florida, but that may not be correct. One of them may be buried at this cemetery. Annie Laua Harden was the first wife of Joseph B. Harden and the mother of Laurel Harden. Her maiden name was Law. My grandfather wanted to be buried in the cemetery next to his father, but the family buried him in the Ashburn cemetery. I think the grave stone with his name on it was one he put there in preparation for his burial. I remember him telling me that we might dig into his father's grave when we bury him because he was not sure about the exact location of his father's burial site.
