Williamson enlisted as a private in the "Norfolk Blues," the Norfolk (VA) Light Artillery, on November 1, 1864. He had previously served as a messenger for the Confederate Nitre and Mining Bureau in North Carolina for several months in 1863 and 1864.
After the war, he lived in Norfolk, VA where by 1880 he was working as a clerk for a railway company, an occupation he is still listed at in 1900 and 1910. He died from apoplexy on March 12, 1911 and is buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Portsmouth, VA.
