    Notes 
    • It is speculative that the William Williamson of Cowlitz County is the William Williamson who was born to William and Anne in Portage County. The birth dates ascribed to the Cowlitz County William are not consistent with each other and are not all consistent with the June 1859 date.

      In the 1880 census, he may or may not be the 21 year-old farm hand William Williamson living on the O. John Johnson farm in Minnehaha County, Dakota Territory.

      In the 1900 census, the family lives in Stella, Cowlitz County, Washington. He is 38 years old and was born in Wisconsin in September of 1861. He owned his farm with a mortgage.

      In the 1910 census the family is in Portland, Oregon. All the children are at home. The senior William is a farmer.

      In the 1920 census the family is in Stella, Washington. William is a farmer. Living with him and Ida is their daughter-in-law, Anna L., 23, their grand-son, Lester, ten months, and Maxina Butler, 5, “niece”, born in Mississippi. A Lester S Williamson married Thelma D Westerdahl in Vancouver, Clark County, Washington, on 13 Dec 1941.

      In the 1930 census he is William Williamson, 71, living in Stella Precinct, Cowlitz County, Washington, with his wife, Ida L., 57, and their 40 year-old single son William H. The older William is a farmer, the younger William is a bookkeeper for a logging camp.

      In the 1940 census, he is William Williamson (erroneously indexed as Willianson in Ancestry), living with Ida in Cowlitz County in the same house in which they had both lived in 1935. Both had had eighth-grade educations.
