Georgia Ann Williams was the daughter of David Sherrill and Nancy Woodall 
Williams. She was born in November of 1841 in Osanippa, Chambers County, 
Alabama (Valley, Alabama on Hopewell Road, Chambers County Road 388). She 
married 1st Edmond Jackson Williamson, who was born in Baldwin County, Georgia, 
on October 12, 1858, at the home of her parents. They had two children: Gary 
Tooley Williamson and Frances Jackson Williamson Winslett. E.J. Williamson 
joined Company G, 37th Alabama Regiment in 1862. He died in Columbus, 
Mississippi, in 1862, from an illness (Consumption).

Georgia Ann, also called "Pliss" by the family, re-married James Arnold Reid on 
Valentines Day, 1867. Reid was a Civil War Veteran. They were the parents of

at age 10), Mary ( who died at age 10), Elizabeth Matilda Vollenweider, Joseph,
