Husband of Patience(Ware) and Lidia Ann (Cheesman) and Son of Ann and John Williamson. George was a weaver when he was sixteen years old and living in Philadelphia with his parents, probably at 1028 Germantown Avenue. John Williamson and his family is listed at that address in 1860 according to the Philadelphia Street Index.
George enlisted to become a soldier in the New Jersey Tenth Regiment-Infanty-Volunteers, Company A on 14 Oct 1861 in Gloucester City, New Jersey. This Regiment was newly formed and was designated as the " Olden Legion ". The Regiment went into camp at Beverly, New Jersey then proceeded to Washington, DC on 26 Dec 1861 with a total of 918 men in it's ranks. They went into camp at Camp Clay on the Bladensburg turnpike, one mile from Washington. The task of the Regiment at this time was Provost Duty around Washington. On 12 April 1863 the Regiment was sent to Suffolk, Virginia to assist there and then in July 1863 they were sent to Philadelphia in antipication of a resistance to the draft. In the fall of 1863 tey were sent to the mining regions of Pennsylvania to suppress the continuous rioting among the miners. On 19 April 1864 the Regiment was assigned active duty with the Army of the Potomac at Brandy Station, Virginia as part of the First New Jersey Brigade. The Regiment was involved in numerous battles in Virginia and was also involved in Robert E. Lee's Surrender at Appomattox on 9 April 1865. The entire Regiment was mustered out on 1 July 1865 after the war was over.
George enlisted in Oct 1861 for a three year period and for some reason he reenlisted on 4 Jan 1864 before his three years were up. He was mustered out on 1 July 1865 at Halls Hill, Virginia. After reviewing the Regiments History it's apparent that George married Patience on 13 April 1864 while he was serving in the Army and stationed in Pennsylvania. Six days after getting married his Regiment was transferred to Virginia.
After the war was over, George moved in with Patience and her parents and family on a farm in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. They lived with her parents up until 1870 when John Ware Sr. was murdered by his son John Jr.. By 1872, the Williamson family was living in Cheesemantown, New Jersey. It appears that every different Census Taker called this area by a different name for many years to come. I know that the Williamson family lived between Erial and the other side of Cross Keys/Berlin Road their entire life. George owned his own farm outright on Hickstown Road to Albion, south to Cross Keys Road.
George got married to Lidia Ann Ware in Feb of 1892 and it appears that she may have died before 1900. Lidia Ann shows up on the State Census for 1895 in New Jersey but she no longer appears with George's family on the 1900 Federal Census for New Jersey or any other census thereafter.
In 1910 George is still on his farm and his sons Walter, Grover and daughter-in-law Julia (Grover's wife) are living with him. A boarder named Bishop is also living with them. By 1920 George is now living with Grover in a rented house on Clementon Road.
