Cuthbert Williamson

(Abt 1740 - 30 Nov 1812)



Henrico Feb Court 1757: Cuthbert Williamson, orphan of Cuthbert, chose William Price as his guardian. Edward Curd Jr. Security. [Edward Curd was probably Cuthbert's uncle and his father had married Elizabeth Curd. William Price may have been the William Price, who was a son of Daniel & Mary Hughes Price - he was about the right age, in the right place, etc.]

Cuthbert's first wife believed to be Obedience, possibly Obedience Price, but there is no proof. Their children were likely Elizabeth & Rebecca, and some suggest John because his marriage date of 1786 would seem to indicate he was born a few years before Cuthbert married Susanna White, 7 Sep 1772 in Charlotte Co VA.
