Samuel David Williamson (Jr). b: 10/14/1829 Monroe County, AL d: 10/17/1911 Simpson, Vernon Parish, LA
Trying to find out if he was in the CSA.
Appreciate any help.
The research database I subscribe to has very little on Alabama Confederates. But I think I've found enough to say this is probably Samuel. Maybe someone with access to Fold 3 can give you more info.
