THOMAS WILLIAMSON was admitted on trial in 1785, and traveled the Yadkin and Salisbury circuits in North Carolina. In 1787 he was in charge of Kentucky circuit; in 1788, of Danville, and in 1789, of Cumberland circuit - returning, in 1780, to the Danville circuit for two years; after which, having "literaly worn himself out in traveling and preaching," he asked for a location. He died near Lexington, in great peace. He was a good man, and a very excellent and successful preacher.
