Williamson Farm

This post is in response to a question about the Leo Williamson family. The Williamson farm was located near what is now Highway 577 and the Plum Grove Road. The area was called the Unity community. The Williamsons were from Copiah County, Mississippi, which is adjacent to Simpson County. There were at least two Williamson families that left South Carolina prior to 1820, moved to Louisiana, then to Mississippi, then to West Carroll Parish. Amos Williamson and his family left Mississippi in the mid-1830s. Leo Williamson went to Pioneer High School in West Carroll Parish.
