> For years I've read where the father of Mary Williamson (md. to Henry
Gulick

> In Eliza Haddon Brevoort's "Gullicks and Allied Families 1653-1948" she

> Maysville, KY who recd. it from Mrs. Robinson, now (1948) decd. Do those

> Nicholas Williamson of Amwell Twp, Hunterdon Co. will dated Aug. 19, 1760,
> inventory dated Dec. 13, 1760, filed Dec. 19, 1760.
> Executors- wife Rachel, son Benjamin
> Witnesses- Jacob Mattison, Peter Prall Jr., Abram Prall
> Children- Benjamin (eldest son), Mary, Catherine, Jacob, William (under 21
> when will was written)
>
> From New Brunswick DRC:
> 21 Apr 1734 William to Nicholas Williamson and Ragel
> 19 Feb 1738 Maria to Nicholas Williamson and Rachel
> From Readington DRC:
> 6 Nov 1744 Cathelina to Nicholas Willemsen and Rachel
> From Six Mile Run DRC?:
> 1750 Willem (no details on this entry)
>
> I suspect the eldest William died and the youngest Willem is the one
> mentioned in the will. Any help on the actual record there would be
> appreciated. Seems like a lot of moving around for this family, was there
> another Nicholas and Rachel Williamson in the same area, same time period?
>
> One researcher suggested Nicholas Willemsen's parents were Willem Willemse
> and Catalyntie Gulick, but I find no proof of that, other than the naming
> pattern.
>
> TIA for any help.
