Generation No. 3 5. Mary3 Martin (Israel, Martini) was born October 1843 in Union County, Hamony twp, IN, and died August 15,1921 in Liberty township, Union County, Indiana;. She married Franklin Williamson December 26, 1877 in Union Co., son of Samuel Williamson and Elizabeth Connaway. He was born November 18, 1834 in Jennings township, Fayette County, IN, and died December 5, 1904 in Liberty township, Union County, Indiana;. Notes for Mary Martin: Mary died at the home of her son Karl in Union County. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Dunlapsville, and of the Elizabeth P Stanley Chapter of the WCTU of Liberty. She also had taught school and loved books. Notes for Franklin Williamson: Franklin or Frank was born in Fayette County IN just southeast of Lyonsville in Jennings township. The date 18 Nov 1834. On 19 November 1857 he married Elizabeth Coffman, daughter of John and Catherine Witter Coffman of Union County IN. They lived in Fayette County until 1859 when they purchased land near Elizabeth's parents. It was just south of present Indiana 44 river bridge on the western banks of the East Fork Whitewater River. At that time there was not a bridge across the river, only a shallow place in the river where horses could cross. It was known as Honeyman's Ford. There was "bottom land" that made excellent farming ground, but to the west of the Williamson home it was quite hilly and used only for grazing. The Williamson's were known for their Shorthorn cattle and Southdown sheep. For the first few years on the river farm they lived in an old house very near the river and my Mother said they had straw on the floor covered with come course carpet. No one had screens on the doors or windows. Fishing and hunting was a necessity and there was an abundance of fish and wild game surrounding them. Frank and Elizabeth had three daughters in the first six years of their marriage and had nothing but sorrow during that time. Cynthia Alice was born Dec. 4 1858 and died on her birthday Dec 4.1860. She is buried in the Christian cemetery, Brownsville, IN. The second daughter, Alice Bell was born October 8 1860 and died November 21, 1865 and was buried by her sister. The third daughter, Leolla Dell was born Nov 26, 1863 and died December 3, 1863 and she was placed in Brownsville by her sisters. History does not tell us what happened to the first two children but Leolla was just 8 days old when a spark from the fireplace ignited the clothing of the child as she lay in her cradle. After all that sadness a son, John Emery was born to them on 24 May 1865 and lived until 1912. On 13 September 1867 Elizabeth Catherine was born and on 17 March 1870 Perry Franklin entered into the family picture. They lived as a family until Elizabeth became ill, probably with tuberculosis and died 12 October 1873. Probably the Coffman's took care of the small children until Frank remarried 26 December 1877. Her name was Mary Martin, daughter of Israel and Lucy Munson Martin. Mary was born in 1843 in Harmony township, Union Co, IN. Mary was their eldest daughter and was teaching school at the age of 16. She taught for 17 years in the Liberty and Dunlapsville Schools. During the marriage the Williamson's built a new home on the west side of the road from the old home and the purchased additional land. Mary had saved her money while teaching and had her own farm just west of the Williamson farm. From the second marriage there were two children, Israel born in 1880 and lived only into his 7th year. Karl Vaneer Williamson was their second son. He later owned the home farm was living there when he died of a heart attack. Franklin Williamson died 5 December 1904 and was buried at West Point cemetery in Liberty. Mary continued living on the farm with her son Karl and family until a fall which fractured her ribs and led to her death 15 August 1921. She is buried by her husband. Frank died of Bright's disease.

She then married Karl Williamson and the family included her daughters plus their two daughters Hilda and Mary plus the son of Karl and his first wife, Glen. They were a happy family and in the early 1940's they had the Williamson Reunion at their farm. Everyone was telling Hazel how much they appreciated the hospitality and her answer was, "It was a good way to get the yard mowed". After Karl's death Hazel sold the farm to Alien Maze, her nephew, and bought a home in Liberty. She worked as a cook at the local school. She then became a seamstress for Mary Snyder making draperies. Aunt Hazel was a good person; loved her family and always tried to be self sufficient.
