J.M. Williamson

Mayor of Hattiesburg from 1891 - 1892. Husband of Dolly Williamson.

According to the Forrest County Tombstone Inscription book a J.M. Williamson was born on July 17, 1833, and died January 29, 1902. He's in McLaurin Cemetary.

This is from a book of Hinds county marriage records: J. M. Williamson and Miss Dolly PITTS            Returned 6 Nov 1889 Bondsman: J. M. Williamson and W.C. Rodgers by W.C. Black, Pastor M. E. Church, Jackson, Miss. Filed Dec 30, 1889

Not sure how to interpret this record. Does this mean they were married on November 6, 1889? Can we assume they were married at M. E. Church in Jackson?

According to ancestry.com it looks like he was married to Dollie in Hinds county. I can't really be sure because to see anything more I have to pay $$$. -- Brad
