WILLIAMSON WILLIAM II 'Billy' b c 1785, m c 1811 in Dungannon, Co Tyrone, Ireland to ELIZABETH 'BETTY' WILSON. William Williamson came to Quebec, in 1844 or 1845, and then went on to Howick Township, Huron Co, Ontario about 1854 with some of his children. It is not known if his wife came to Canada or not. Nine of their children came over, some in 1844 and others in 1845. They were born in Ireland, Co Tyrone, Dungannon, Castlecaulfield, C of E, and were descendants of the castle curate William Jefferson Williamson b circa 1670. William Williamson Sr appears in his son William's household in the 1861 census for Howick Tp, age 76, born Ireland, ie b c 1785. (Source:1861 census info re William Williamson Sr provided by Barb Lee Page.) He does not appear in the 1871 census, so may have died between 1861-1871. No death or burial record has been found. Robert Rickaby settled in the area of the 10th and 11th ranges of Inverness Tp, and also had holdings on the 14th Range of Nelson Tp. He was a Magistrate and Justice of the Peace. He was involved in prosecution of the infamous Robert Corrigan murder of 1856. For an account of the Corrigan murder, and subsequent trial, see, Hill Search: The Robert Corrigan Story, by Steve Cameron, 2014. Robert Rickaby was also involved in the prosecution of a family that was selling liquor without a licence. In retaliation, Rickaby’s building in Nelson Tp. was destroyed. For an account of this incident, see ‘1856-Megantic Mob Law,’ in Hill Notes: ‘Glimpses’ of Before, by Steve Cameron, 2017, 43-60. Contact Steve Cameron at Other contact info also available. According to some sources, others of the Williamson family emigrated from Ireland to Chicago in the 1860s, and others emigrated from Ireland to Virginia. The 9 children of William Williamson II and Betty Wilson who came to Megantic Co were :

1. WILLIAM WILLIAMSON III b c 1818 - 1821,m at Inverness to MARY ALDRICH. For their children, see the Aldrich publication by Gwen Barry.
