Nathan Williamson vs. Nathan Williams: Marriage Bond for Nathan Williams and
Margaret Jane Scull Williamson vs. Williams Discrepancy: The transcription of the marriage bond for Nathan WILLIAMS and Margaret Jane SCULL (see below) is offered to dispel any further discrepancy over the issue of whether it was a Nathan WILLIAMS or a Nathan WILLIAMSON that married Margaret Jane SCULL. The original copy of the marriage bond shows the name WILLIAMSON in the body of the document, but the signature is clearly WILLIAMS. Further confirmation of WILLIAMS vs. WILLIAMSON comes from a marriage notice printed in the Raleigh Register. Marriage Notice: Abstracts of Vital Records for the Raleigh, NC newspapers 1799-1829: Married on 24 of November 1809 at the residence of JOHN G. SCULL, Mr. N. WILLIAMS merchant of Wilmington to MISS JANE SCULL (research of Gene Peterson, 2008). This should clear up the Williamson vs. Williams discrepancy. It was a copy error. Note: Margaret Jane SCULL was the daughter of John Gambier SCULL and Mary COLVIN. Margaret’s sister, Mary Catherine SCULL, md. John Mills VERNON. Note: William M. VERNON (1756 -1789) was md. to Eleanor SCULL (1757 -1802). Eleanor SCULL was a sister to John Gambier SCULL. Their daughter, Anne VERNON was married to Elkannah ALLEN. Note: Benjamin MILLS was married 17 Oct. 1775 in NC to Jane COLVIN sister to John Gambier SCULL’S wife, Mary COLVIN.
