Re: The Will of John Box of Laurens Co. S.C.

I know of no connection between the Box family and the Williamson family other than that exposed in the Will of John Box of Laurens Co.It seems John Box had a daughter(not named in his will because she was apparently deceased,that married a Williamson, not named in John's will) who had a son named Elisha Williamson.John Box's Will was administered by his friend, Elisha Williamson, who I think would also be a grandfather to Elisha Williamson, grandson of John Box.

The presence of Williamson as a middle name of your Jacob Gibson suggests a relationship to these Williamsons who lived in Laurens County SC around 1815 when the will was written.

Current research suggests thisJohn Box was a brother of Robert Box who married Mary Williams and they were sons of Robert Box, the elder.
