A researcher in Ancestry has that Thomas is son of Jeremiah Williamson and Elizabeth Stafford of Greene Co, Tennessee. However, their son Thomas was Thomas Harry, and this Thomas indicated his initial in M in a census record. Also, Thomas Harry died in 1863 in Point Lookout Prison Camp, Saint Mary's Co, Maryland.

Census:
Williamson, Thomas W. head Mar 1829 71 m 42 yrs Tennessee Virginia Virginia Farmer
Elizabeth A wife, Aug 1835 64 m 42 yrs, 0 births 0 living, Louisiana, Louisiana Louisiana

wife Elizabeth A has recorded her age as 5 years older and born in Tennessee rather than Texas and states no children whereas wife Mary A in 1880 had 8 children. Elizabeth states m 64 years, whereas Mary A had three children by that time. Curious. But assuming same wife and just the usual census type discrepancies.

Thomas married Mary Elizabeth Asher about 1858 in Texas. Mary was born in 1840 in Texas; died after 1900 in of, Madison Co, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Mary Elizabeth Asher was born in 1840 in Texas; died after 1900 in of, Madison Co, Texas.

Notes:

Name:
last name is not verified. So far I've seen Jimmerson on Rootsweb -- this is supposition because of the Jimmerson living with them in 1860 Grimes Co, 2 years diffrence in her age and Mary's. They assumed she is her sister, and may well be, but could not be either. Not enough to make that leap.
Asher is a name found in findagrave in the Willowhole Cemetery in Madison Co.
Mary Tennessee Saddler name sown in a file found on Ancestry.
No sources for any of these names.
