From a personal visit to Oak Hill Cemetery in Lampasas, Lampasas County, Texas in August 2012, I observed the following:The W. R. Williamson (William Riley) family plot is a large one containing the burials of W.R. Williamson, his wives Mary E., and Mollie Williamson, and Sallie a daughter and Eddie a son of W.R. and M. Williamson.
The plot also has several burials of the Gwin family. Note the spelling of the surname is Gwin not Guinn as researchers previously recorded.
