Agness(Thompson)Williamson is believed to be the daughter of George L. 
Thompson. She married Nathan Camp Williamson in Butts Co. GA on June 25, 1840. 
Nathan was granted a divorce from his first wife, Irena Summerlin, on September 
19, 1839. Agness raised his children from that marriage, Thomas J. and Winney 
Ann Williamson. She and Nathan had at least five children. Three died very 
young and are buried in the Williamson/Knowles Cemetery beneath stone vaults, 
matching that of their father. Widow Agness paid a Mr. Nelson to "wall" four 
graves in 1855(Nathan Williamson's estate records). Oldest daughter, Lavonia 
Catherine married James B. Knowles, November 5, 1859. Mary Elizabeth married 
John J. Buffington, November 30, 1865. This daguerreotype was likely made after 
Nathan's death; though not as well preserved, it probably was made along with a 
similar one of daughter Lavonia. Notice that Agness had a glass eye!
